We Could've Been A Family

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned,

Tied with a ribbon,

Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land,

To follow what's written,

But I'd follow you to the great unknown,

Off to a world we call our own.

Hand in my hand

And we promised to never let go,

We're walking a tightrope.

High in the sky,

We can see the whole world down below,

We're walking a tightrope.

Never sure, never know how far we could fall...

But it's all an adventure

That comes with a breathtaking view,

Walking a tightrope,

With you...

Young SarahIce

Yeah they're gonna say that

He ain't the kind to hold my hand

He ain't gonna try to understand

Nothing under the surface

He's just looking for a pretty face

But they got it all wrong

I got it all right

They say they just don't see it

But I saw it at first sight

***Obligatory mention of a certain character who got redeemed at the last minute at the very end of the list. Tread at your own discretion.

@shirubie Ooh I like it!

Thunderfam, what's an obscure ship you have that you can't really explain?

I'll go first.

Remember Kate from Grandma Tourismo?

This girl:

She's sweet and resourceful and instantly makes friends with Grandma Tracy. And she runs a hat shop in the desert.

Well, the ship in question is her and Virgil.

Even though, despite being in the same episode they don't interact at all.

But, my twelve year old brain thought it was an excellent idea so now you may pry Kate x Virgil from my cold dead hands.

Thunderfam…take a hug and pass it on!

Gordon: As your best friend-

Kayo: Rigby is my best friend.

Gordon: AS YOUR BEST FRIEND

Iceman: Don't do anything stupid, Mav.

Maverick: Define stupid.

Oh there is definitely ice-cream!

Favourite Flavours:

Scott - Double chocolate.

Virg - Salted caramel.

John - He likes bubblegum ice cream, even though everyone else hates it.

Gordo - He will eat anything but his favourite is Ben and Jerry's Phish Food (duh!).

Allie - Chocolate ice cream and he always puts loads of sauce and marshmallows and sprinkles on it.

Kayo - Something a little bit out left field, like cherry, or cinnamon.

Who stocks the ice cream?

Virgil.

Who drowns their sorrows in ice cream?

Scott and Alan.

They've all probably done it at least once, though.

Who hates ice cream?

No-one hates ice cream. But, Grandma Tracy does hold something of a contempt for it, due to all the times her boys have turned to ice cream as a replacement for her terrible cooking.

Other ice cream shenanigans:

Sometimes John deliberately gives Virgil mint choc chip ice cream, because it's green, just to be annoying. It's not that Virg doesn't like mint, it's just wHy jOhN?

One year, for his birthday, Gordon made Alan a massive bowl of ice cream with, like the biggest pile of extra whipped cream and marshmallows and sweets and sprinkles and chocolate sauce that you have ever seen. It was the best birthday present ever.

Question of the day

Tracy brothers and ice cream.

Favourite flavours?

Who drowns their sorrows in ice cream?

Different flavours for different moods?

Who stocks the ice cream?

Who hates ice cream?

Ice cream memories?

Does ice cream play a role in the Tracy household?
