"You've got to be kidding"
"In the army-"
"GUESS WHAT WE'RE NOT IN THE ARMY."
"No but we have 18 kids. We need to ensure some order"
"Uh-huh," Helen led her husband into another room.
"Look don't over-react honey. It was a suggestion"
"Yeah well why don't you explain that to JJ who's biological parents used to break his arms and beat the crap out of him for every little offense"
"There's a difference between that and-"
"AND YOU THINK A FIVE YEAR OLD IS GOING TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? YOU KNOW WHAT FRANK, YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT BEING A PARENT."
"I've been one since I was 18. I think-"
"What. I thought William was born when you were twenty-three"
"I married at seventeen. She was pregnant. Nine months later she gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl ever. We named her Belle... that means beauty. Her Christian name meant perfection. A week before William was born she was run over by a car."
"Oh Frank"
Helen sighed.
"We need to figure something out that works for both of us"
They hugged and agreed to discuss it when the kids were in bed that night.
