om_communicationsSteve and Tony text about his decision to adopt Sharon as a ward.
Steve: So, I figured out what to do with my money. Or at least part of it.
Tony: Oh yeah?
Steve: Yeah. I've talked to Sharon about it, and I'm going to adopt her as a ward.
Steve: We're calling it a sibling adoption though.
Tony: ...huh. Okay.
Steve: Yeah.
Steve: A lot of it was so that, if she ever ends up in the hospital, I'll legally have the right to speak on her behalf. Or if something happened to me, she has money.
Steve: Not that you wouldn't take care of her, I know you would. It's just more secure this way.
Tony: No, I think it's a good idea. Just kind of surprising.
Steve: You mean you didn't expect me to adopt another teenager at the age of eighteen? Well jeez, Tony.
Tony: Usually people do talk before the kids arrive.
Steve: As far as surprise children go, I do prefer this to...other...ways.
Tony: Point.
Tony: Prefer practicing those other ways.
Steve: Me too, actually.
Steve: Helps that it can't actually happen that way.
Steve: Or well, it can, I am able to, technically, just, uh.
Tony: Is this something we should be investigating?
Steve: I- what? I, uh...how do you mean?
Tony: Stupid joke. I meant more practice.
Steve: Oh. Right.
Steve: Yes, feel free to investigate that whenever you would like.
Tony: I do enjoy testing.
Tony: But back to the original point.
Steve: Right, yes.
Steve: I just worry about her, a lot.
Steve: She might grow into acting like a human, it's only been a year, but right now, she doesn't much care for it, at least not all the time. Definitely not the boring parts.
Steve: And I know you'd take care of her, but I don't want to risk her having to choose between poverty or going back to full-time cat if she can't or decides not to act like a full-fledged responsible human adult.
Steve: Maybe it's not healthy, I don't know. But it's different for her. She grew up a cat.
Tony: People make their own families all the time. You're just more literal than most.
Steve: That's true, I hadn't thought about it like that.
Steve: Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, we only just talked about it.
Steve: I'll cook dinner tonight, if you'll be there. It's alright if you can't.
Tony: Pretty sure I can manage that.
Steve: Great. See you tonight, Tony.
