Sara watched Jordan climb up the ladders she had placed and secured so that he could navigate the step stool with his small form. She had gone through a few different versions. At first, she thought about using a rope for him to climb up. While it was easy enough to tie off and make work, what she didn’t like about it was that rope climbing was so physical in nature and wasn’t all that conducive to being able to reach the top easily. She knew that if it were physically strenuous the odds of him using it would be greatly diminished.
Ideally, she would have liked to be able to make a staircase or some kind of elevator. The elevator would have been overly complicated to get to work as she would have to connect it to power somehow not to mention the cost of it all. A staircase would be much more practical but building it out on such a small scale would be cumbersome. It would have to be a custom job. Seeing Jordan climb the ladders quite easily led her to believe this was the right choice. It didn’t take up much space and could be easily moved around.
As Jordan reached the top, he saw a tiny sink waiting for him. As he moved over to it it was a little large for him. He felt like a young child barely able to see over the sink. However, he wasn’t about to ask Sara for some kind of step stool. He had way too much pride for that and was positive that would only lead her to further babying him.
“Make sure you brush your teeth and wash your hands. I was able to track down a tiny toothbrush and toothpaste. Remember two minutes of brushing. If I’m still brushing my teeth you can’t be done.”
“Two minutes? What the hell I’m supposed to do for two minutes of brushing? Teeth brushing takes like 30 seconds.” Jordan argued.
“Proper brushing in for two minutes front, back, and top of your teeth. Make sure you get your gums and tongue as well. Do I need to check on you when I’m done?”
“Nnn-no ma’am” Jordan said capitulating to Sara. Two minutes was ridiculous, but she seemed to be as stubborn as her mother about these things. He had only been around them for a few days but the Reeves women were very dominant and strong-willed in their opinions. It was surprising to see how laid back Sara’s dad was.
Jordan looked at the tiny toothbrush and wondered if they had different sizes as not every person was his size. He wasn’t actually sure how he sized up in the little/underbred hierarchy. He would have to ask Sara. As seeing this sink made him think he was smaller than the typical underbred.
Jordan continued to brush his teeth impatiently. He looked up at Sara who he swore was taking longer than the two minutes she stated just torture him. He didn’t want to find out what would happen if he finished before her. So he merely continued to brush his teeth till he mercifully saw her finish up.
“See that wasn’t so bad. Just two minutes each time keeps the dentist away. If you got a cavity I’m not even sure what we would do. I’ve never heard of an underbred dentist but I’m sure one must exist. I guess worst case they have little tools I could give you pliers and you’d have to pull it out or I could have Gavin come over and he could pull out the tooth.” Sara said as she worked through the events which left Jordan horrified. He made a mental note to brush for two minutes multiple times a day.
“Is their little mouthwash?” Jordan asked suddenly very into mouthcare.
“No, but you can just have some of mine,” Sara added as she poured some mouthwash into her toothpaste cap before lowering it to Jordan who tipped it enough for some to pour into his mouth.

“I could have Gavin come over and he could pull out the tooth.”
A conversation I assume would go like this
Mal: (answering phone) Oh hey Gir-
Sara: (cutting Mal off) Mal I need to something from you
Mal: Oh hey Girly. “Hey Mal, what’s up?” Nothing much how are you? “I’m alright but I do need a favour.” Of course bestie, how can I help? Is how a polite person would start this conversation.
Sara: Of course Mal, I’m Sorry
Mal: I’ll forgive you, but you really shouldn’t cut people off and talk over them while they’re speaking, it’s extremely rude and I hate people doing that, and especially since you have Jordan now, how can you hope to have a meaningful conversation with him if he can’t get a word in edgewise.
Sara: you’re right Mal I didn’t mean to be rude.
Mal: Now what did you wanna ask for?
Sara: can you bring Gavin over so he can pull one of Jordie’s teeth out?
Mal: OMG, Why? What did he say? and to whom?
Sara: what? Mal no. He just has a cavity, and I was joking about that being the punishment for snitching.
Mal: why not take him to the dentist?
Sara: I can’t find any underbred dentists.
Mal: did you search “Little Dentist” or “Underbred Dentist” ?
Sara: …
Mal: Look, I won’t stop you calling your little that word, so long as you don’t call my Gavin such an ugly thing, but Google will give wildly different results depending on what you put in, Don’t bother searching this though, I’ll give you the details of my dentist, He had a little section where he checked Gavin last time it was so cute.
Sara: Thanks Mal, Jordan and I really appreciate your help in these moments.
Mal: you’re welcome Sara.
This is a great depiction of how things could turn out. The conversation feels very true to the characters. I like Mail chastising Sara for interupting/talking over someone. That was very tongue in cheek. Loved that
I’m glad you think it’s true to your characters, I did take a few liberties (I don’t think Mal’s ever indicated that she doesn’t want Gavin called an “underbred”) but it felt like something she’d say. I loved writing that chastisement, I was imagining Gavin looking at her dumbfounded as she says it. Yeah, no self awareness from Mal.
I missed you and this story extremely!!!!!
