Third Floor Common Room -- Monday Morning

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Sammy, Dawn and Jo all had class this morning, which left Dean more or less in charge of the entire tribe.

Having long ago learned the value of both television and food when looking after kids, Dean got them all down the hall to the common room and settled down in front of the tv watching cartoons as he cooked breakfast.

This was giving him deja vu to when he would do this for Sammy. Granted this was in bigger numbers, but it wasn't really that different.

[ooc: Open as common rooms are, there's probably enough food to feed people whose last name isn't Winchester too]

"Is that in a bowl or thrown against a house?" Dean asked, only half joking.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Ummmmm...just the bowl." John had yet to perfect the art of the believable lie.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Dean said, grinning. "You gotta work on your delivery there. You're never going to convince anyone you're innocent right now."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"I always screw that part up. I think it's Uncle Sammy's fault, maybe."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Don't let Sammy fool ya," Dean advised. "He can lie with the best of them when he wants to. He just doesn't like to admit it."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"You always say that," John grumbled, "but I still think he lies worse than mom and Aunt Buffy put together."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"He probably thinks he needs to be a good role model and that modelling lying is bad or something," Dean observed. "Sammy can be a little silly at times."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

John nodded a lot in agreement. "Mom definitely made the right choice back at home." Not that he was biased in favor of his father or anything.

"You know there's nothing I can say to that, that won't get me in trouble with someone somewhere, right?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

He flashed a big grin at Dean. Yep, he knew. "How come this Sammy has more kids than you do?" He was standing on tiptoe and trying to see the top of the counter again, and really hating being short.

"Maybe because I know how to use a condom?" was out of Dean's mouth before he really considered his audience.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Why does that make a difference?" He asked, not quite old enough for that lecture yet.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Ask me again when you're thinking about dating a girl," Dean advised.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

He made a face, "Why would I want to do that?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Trust me, in a few years, you'll figure out the answer to that question all by yourself." Dean paused. "Unless you decide you'd rather date guys."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Dating's dumb."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You'll change your mind," Dean assured him.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

He was a little skeptical, even though it wasn't the first time he'd heard that from his dad. John did have another question, "Do you still have the Impala?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean grinned. "Yep. Dad officially gave it to me for my last birthday actually."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

John relaxed. His dad without the Impala was just weird. "I'm gonna get it when I'm old enough, right?" Maybe he could get this dad to promise, and it would still count.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean paused. "What have I said before?" he asked warily.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Something about dead bodies that weren't zombies or vampires..." he muttered.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean grinned. "Yeah, that sounds like me."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

John gave a very loud sigh. "Will you let me sit in front, at least? Otherwise Mom makes me do homework and translations and stuff in the back."
