A Ton of Advice - Walter Part 21

by Awatere11

So ... you asked for it. Ton asked for it and Ianto is never one to disapoint one of his children. Ton is writing a coffee-table book of advice, bright pictures with his personal quotes to help those in need of some advice Toninator style. LOL

1. Chapter 1

"Never pass up the chance of cake!"

Ianto looked up from the laptop, his glasses on the tip of his nose as he studied his son. "Really?"

"Yeah, I don't care what order the other things go in, advice changes depending on when you need it and don't want to hear it and stuff but that one has to be first and foremost. If they only read one of my thoughts it has to be that one!" Ton nodded. "Put a picture of a cake behind it and I want the words really big."

"OK love" Ianto said with amusement, showing Ton some cake pictures the boys had taken over the years and he chose one, the words in white in front of the bright cake frosting.

Ianto had been unsure of this whole 'write a book' thing Ton had started to talk about but as time went on he knew it was going to be a happening thing, even if he had to pay to get some printed himself for Ton to look at and feel accomplished.

"Cake is important" Ton said again, leaning in to make sure his Taddy saved it in the right folder then he sat back with a look of satisfaction. "You know … this writing thing is hard. I see why you got mad at me the time I wanted to sing for you while you were trying to finish a chapter for the publisher."

"Yes. That was a difficult day for both of us, I know you enjoy singing for me" Ianto smiled softly, "And it was a Cake day as I recall. Daddy got that sponge one."

"Yeah!" Ton sighed, "Cake is sooo important. We have them at baby showers, baby births, christenings, birthdays, Christmas and at the funeral we have the last cake we will ever share with that person. Cakes are like … like … milestones."

"Milestones" Ianto repeated with a roll of his eyes.

"Yes. You have cake, feel good and more on until the next one" Ton nodded, "everyone needs cake."

"Cake makes the world go around" Ianto said with a soft smile, "Certainly makes it a sweeter place."

"There you go, you are getting it Taddy, well done" Ton praised his Taddy, "You might get this writing thing too."

Ianto hid his amusement as he checked the time, then rose to get tea started.

Yeah.

There was cake.
