i have no real explanation for this

me: i want stanley tucci to father my children. this is not to say i don't love kurt, or am particularly sexually attracted to stanley tucci. it is simply to say it would be awesome to have little tucci babies...who i can only imagine would be bald and would wear little circular glasses

Deanna: haha yes

they'd be very droll

me: slightly bemused at all times

with slight homosexual undertones in all that they do

Deanna: i imagine those babies would throw the BEST dinner parties

with their stuffed animals

me: i am trying so hard not to laugh right now

and it is so difficult

Deanna: paddington bear, would you care for some more foie gras?

perhaps some confit, elmo?

me: i just cannot see trying to explain to department chair peter monti "oh, i'm laughing because i'm imagining baby stanley tucci serving his stuffed animals french delicacies"

i simply cannot

Deanna: do try tis chataneuf du pape, dora the explorer, it's an excellent vintage

me: STOP IT

Deanna: ha i can't

me: it's so weirdly easy to imagine this

Deanna: i know!

afterwards they'd all play twister and then dora and paddington would end up leaving together and it would be SUCH a scandal

seeing as dora is just out of a divorce and paddington could be her son

me: said baby tucci, followed by a wry joke and an adorably knowing look

Deanna: he would have the cutest little mustache
