The gigantic frame and body of Sara hung over Jordan as he sat on the desk. They had turned the desks, so they were facing each other which made Jordan feel like he was more on display as the giant teens continued their work.
“Can you believe a time when it was illegal to take out a loan without your husband’s permission? Especially now, what if your husband was just a couple of inches tall? Doesn’t seem right you’d need his permission,” Sara said to the group
“Well, this was like the 1800s. A woman hadn’t even been able to own land in any form for all that long. Historically speaking,” Chloe said.
“I suppose we will have to make connections to historically relevant facts like that. I’ll make a note to look up all the important milestones of women’s rights in the 1800s.” Sara said.
“Okay, then I’ll work on supporting quotes so we can link the movements properly with a few different quotes when we reference them.” Ellie added as Jordan started to understand the requirements of this school may be a bit steeper than even his college required.
“Jordan, you should be listening, not daydreaming. What did Kayla just say?” Sara asked.
“Ummm, I thought Ellie was talking about getting quotes for you all to use,” Jordan said with a bit of a stammer as he said partially unsure if that was even correct.
“That was 5 minutes ago. You need to be paying attention. You need to be caught up by Monday. I’m going to have to prepare a quiz for you to take on Sunday night. You’re a Reeves now. You can’t be slacking on this stuff. If I get in trouble from Mom because you aren’t pulling your weight.” Sara scolded
“Didn’t you say he went to college? Would your mom really care? Why would it matter to her if he knew this stuff?” Kayla asked as she looked down at Kelli.
“I graduated from here. I have a diploma. Which is more than you have, Kayla.” Kelli said boldly but defensively.
“I didn’t say anything,” Kayla said, looking down at her sister quietly.
“Well, if I wasn’t bringing him to school and was just planning on keeping him uneducated, she wouldn’t care. However, because I do bring him to school, there are expectations that he is actually learning and that I’m teaching him. Although she should probably still expect him to perform at a higher level than other littles because he’s a Reeves.
“That seems harsh. What if he’s dumb?” Kayla said as Ellie burst out laughing before covering her mouth.
“Kayla!” Kelli scolded.
“Oh my god, that’s hilarious. I needed that.” Said Sara, laughing quietly.
“You can’t just call someone dumb. What’s wrong with you? I’m so sorry, Jordy. She’s socially inept.” Kelli said embarrassed
“I didn’t say he was dumb. I said what if he was. It seems wrong that her parents just expect Jordan to get Sara’s grades. She’s in the top 3% according to the posted rankings.” Kayla said.
“Let’s see, let me find the texts she sent,” Sara said, scrolling through messages her mom had sent. Here we go. “Let’s see. Scroll, scroll, scroll, here it is. If you want him treated as a member of the family, then he is being held to the same expectations as you, and if he fails to meet those expectations, the consequence falls on you. Blah blah blah, do these chores, here we go. It is fair. You begged us to buy him for you. You want him included as a member of the family. So, we are holding him to the same standard of excellence we hold you too.”
“Harsh,” Chloe said. “Sorry, Jordan. Mrs. Reeves thinks very highly of Sara and accepts nothing less than the best. You can study with us, though.”
“I got her to hold off making him take the LATs until the end of the year at least and talked her down to him only having to score in the 90th percentile. It gives him a fighting chance.” Sara said while putting her phone away before she got caught.
“90th percentile? What the hell are the LATs?” Jordan said as he looked over at Kelli, who shrugged. As Sara glared down at Jordan from above.
“The Little Aptitude Test. It tests Littles to see where they rank across amongst other littles. It tests general knowledge and also will incorporate little knowledge and facts into the examination.” Chloe said.
“What the fuck…”
“Jordan Reeves, you can’t swear here. You’re not allowed to use that language anywhere. You just lost those bonus points you got earlier.”
“What? You never said that till now.” Jordan argued.
“We’re in school. I didn’t think I had to.” Sara said upset.
“Well, he did go to a public school. Maybe they do that there? I’ve only seen them on TV, though.” Ellie said, looking at Chloe and Kayla.
“I’ve never been to a public school either. I’m not sure. But how they are shown on TV makes it seem likely.” Chloe said
“Our mom would sooner die. She went to public school and swore her kids would have better. She would sooner sell our home before sending us to one. She did portray it as quite savage, though.” Kayla said
“Don’t take his bonus points. He doesn’t get many. He didn’t know any better.” Ellie said
“You just want to be the fun aunt. You can’t take his side to look good.” Sara quipped.
“So, you agree I’m his aunt. The defense rests your honor.” Ellie said.
“Fine, just for you. I guess you are right. It falls on me as his guardian for not informing him he wasn’t allowed to swear.” Sara said, relenting on her stance. “But Jordan, if you ever use that kind of language again. You will wish you were losing points. My little man won’t be using that kind of language. As far as you are concerned, you should always speak like you’re in church.” Sara said, scolding Jordan.

Hopefully Sara and Jordan have a long talk about what all the expectations are I know it’s still early in their time but if she informed him more I think they would work together better also I hope she dose not think he’s going to let her hold him to a higher standard than she holds herself to. Because under age drinking in my opinion is far worse than cursing lol.
I do think it’s reasonable to assume that because of his age and being a “college graduate,” she didn’t think she would need to tell him he can’t swear in school.
I think underage drinking is pretty normal. I can’t speak for all areas, but it was about as common as drinking water in the Midwest, where I grew up.
I’m thinking more generally, honestly if he’s too assume being a pet. And a emotional support pet at that. Being there for Sara is his”job” but now going through school and standardized tests feels like a conversation they should have had before being put on the spot like that. Also I think we all Jordan included thought the iPad was too keep him busy during class not participate in it. In but knocking anything I just think Jordan and Sara aren’t on the same page or even chapter lol and some communication from Sara to Jordan would help them along. If i was Jordan I know I would want the full story so I could navigate the world from the new size as best as possible.
That is a very fair assessment. I don’t think they are as far a part
I do think the iPad was to keep him busy during class. But, she’s also practical in that she wanted to load it up with the things he needed.
Yea it just feels like bombshell after bombshell for Jordan. And Sara could really make it easier for him if she just talked to him first. But I also see how she might not want to overload him. It’s 6 of one half a dozen of another. But great stuff as always 👍
Sorry im late, work was being a pain.
1) that really sucks for Jordan having to take this schooling seriously l
Mrs Reeves is weird, she wants him to eat on the floor but expects him to do well in school?
2) “not allowed to sware anywhere” Cunting he’ll, that’d be annoying enough if Sara didn’t swear herself.
And I can attest foul language is a vital communication skill in a public school, especially a rural one. (Some teachers didn’t like it, and some teachers swore fust as much as students.)
3) really hoping Jordan or Kelli point out how their treatment is the same as the women’s in the book. (And by extension the past)
4) I know it’s in a really small way, but it’s nice to see someone stand up to Sara on Jordan’s behalf, better still is that it’s someone she listens to.
5 so does Jordan have to call her “Aunt Ellie now? Lol
5) Maybe? LoL. I feel like Sara knew it was a unwinnable battle. Ellie would have kept coming at her from all angles. As they’ve all said before. you can only contain Ellie so much. Until you just relent.
4)Yeah, he does have his allies.
3)I was wondering if someone would notice the parallels. I chose that play on purpose as it was something they would teach academically to students. Normally towards the end of schooling. But it parallels little/underbred plight.
2)Sara doesn’t swear all that much in general conversation. Not saying she hasn’t ever. But she certainly is more aware of when she does it than Jordan was. Which is what I think what upset her the most. As in a different situation she probably wouldn’t have said anything.
1)Well he may be Sara’s little but she expects him to be smarter then most if not close to all the other littles. Just like she expects Sara to perform academically better then most if not all the other students.
Sucks that work is being a bit pissy. Hopefully your shift is almost done.
Yeah cheers, I’m on lunch Rn, but it was chaos.
1) That’s a bit unfair to put that o him, especially since this woman hasn’t directly adressed Jordan since panel 239, and that was just to tell him. To accept his pet status.
2) True enough, but to ban him from swearing entirely is a bit hypocritical now I’m waiting until she shares next lol.
SARA: you are going to break the law and knowinly purchase alcohol for a group of underage Highshool students, but don’t even think about swearing, that’d be bad if you did that.
3) pretty sure I pointed out those parallels between luttles and women from the past in a pm to you previously, that’s why seeing them got me excited.
4) let’s hope they stay loyal.
5) I kinda want him to call her “aunt Ellie” unprompted in a mocking context such as followinga sarcastic compliment. Like she does something stupid or fails an attempt and he’d say “Good Job Aunt Ellie”
5) That seems like something that would happen. I will see if it can be worked in some where.
4)There’s a multi episode scene I just wrote in maintenance room for this that I can’t wait for you to read that is loosely tied to this. That I’m curious to see what your thoughts are.
3) That seems familiar. We talk a decentt amount so its hard to remember where inspirations come from.
2) Underage drinking is so common though. I’m surprised how many people bring it up. I had no idea it was such a controvesial thing when i wrote it because of how common it is around here.
I’m sure its a do as I say, not as I do thing. But her family in general doesn’t swear.Sara only swears situationally. When her emotions get worked up by people like Charity.
1) She could view him as her daughters pet. So she told her daughter the expectations and the responsibility that she has.So she doesn’t need to directly address him.
Plus she has been working a lot because of the outbreak. So her time at home is very limited in comparison to normal times.
5) yay another idea in review.
4) I’m looking forward to it (I assume it’s around the 450’s-460’s)
3) Fair enough, I just like that I got ahead of this one.
2) It’s pretty common here to, I’ll admit I partook once, (that”s how I leaned I don’t like alcohol)
but I think the issues isnt from the drinking itself but rather they stem from Sara’s weird morality, where she’ll punish him severely for minor offences but expects him to commit a crime for her. Where she’ll disregard the discipline Tiff sentences her too, but make sure he suffers his to the letter
How many “one rule for the another for me” is Sara ginna pump out? She’s such a fucking hypocrit. It’s not like she’s saying “your physically incapable/ unqualified” it’s just random rules that are often inconsiderate and weird.
1) if she just sees him as her daughters pet why would she care? It’s not like Mocha had these expectations. And if she’s busy with work that’s even less reason for her to devote time to this.
I can almost see Ellie trying, at some point, to use this as a guilt trip or a favor for a favor to let her spend time with him away from Sara from time to time, or whatever else.😁
Okay now Sara is being unfair and her mother is not even helping this get Jordan get use to his new life. Like the lack of communication here is just bad like first of Sara what made you think telling Jordan now of all times he has to get tested with freaking LAT and now giving him quizzes and second now he can’t swear Sara really?!!!!
Okay Sara you really need to have to talk to Jordan better later and make sure you both are on the same page because this is just not a responsible look for you and Now I’m starting to like her mother less after this chapter like wtf but I get how she views it but damn that just unfair
Sigh hopefully Jordan can prove everyone wrong and get an A on the this just being honest stupid quiz
Well I think it depends on what your views are for his new life. As Sara is adjusting him to his new life as she sees it. But,it may not be how others view it.
The LAT discussion just happened to come up right now. She wasn’t intending to tell him until later.
Sara and her family don’t swear that much. So its not shocking to expect the same from him. Also timing of when he chose to swear bothered her the most. If he swore in a different setting she may not have minded as much.
As as proving everyone wrong. Sara wants him to succeed. It’s not like shes hoping he fails. If he does well she will just praise him and probably further cement in her eyes she made the right choices.
If he doesn’t do well, she will be upset and assume he’s further behind as his prior education was even more insufficient then she viewed it previously and then he’d have to work that much harder while also dealing with the fact her mother will probably not pleased with her for jordans scores and she would be in trouble.
It doesn’t make sense to me that Sara wants Jordan to get good grades, and yet she distracts him with an iPad during class so he doesn’t pay attention to the teacher.
I think since the Ipad has the book they’re reading downloaded to it, she intends fir him to use the ipad in place of pen and paper.
Correct, the iPad is for his entertainment. But it’s also practical for him as a tool. As she loaded class materials from her syllabus’s onto it.
I’m wondering if her threatening to take it away was a bluff, seeing as how she’d know he needs it for the lesson.
I’d like to report some missing anatomy: Sara’s eyebrows haven’t been seen since Smallara Episode 432: A Giantess Story Current location is unknown, but we can confirm it isn’t her fucking forehead.
Thanks, they were rendered in a batch so they will probably be missing for awhile
