Real Tibette – Thanksgiving 2023
‘Where is he?’
‘He’s in the car.’
Tina blinked. ‘You shut him in the car?’
‘Well—’
‘Bette, honestly!’
Tina glared at her wife and then strode outside, to rescue her beloved.
‘You’re welcome!’ Bette yelled after her. Then she turned back and shook her head at the others in disbelief.

The situation was quickly appraised using a combination of Sonny’s experience of growing up in Detroit and Ben reading things off Google. The main concern was rabies. They checked the cabin as carefully as they could for signs that the critters might have gotten out of the basement, but it all looked good. No droppings, no pee odour, no scratch marks. Rabies was only a risk via direct contact, so as long as they kept Solly on a tight rein, and stayed away from the basement, they’d be okay for the night.
‘We should chop some logs,’ Bette said.
‘Yeah,’ said Ben. ‘But you know where the axe is?’
Sonny sighed. ‘Okay, I’ll go down.’
‘Oh no you won’t!’ said Kit, from the sofa where she and Sasha were huddled under a pile of crocheted blankets.
‘Honey, we need an axe,’ said Sonny.
‘It’s on the wall, near the stairs,’ said Ben. ‘If I go down with you, I can watch for coons while you grab it.’
‘No,’ said Bette.
‘Mom—’
‘Can I go with them?’ asked Sasha.
‘Don’t be ridiculous,’ said Tina.
‘But I wanna see the coons!’
‘Y’know they might have rabies?’ said Ben.
‘So? I’m not scared . . .’
‘Well, neither am I.’
‘Well—’
‘Nobody is going down there,’ said Bette, in her ‘end of story’ voice.
That did, as usual, bring a moment of complete silence – until Sasha’s belly rumbled so loudly that everyone turned and stared at her.
‘Your child is hungry,’ said Tina to Bette. ‘And it’s after midnight.’
Bette looked at the assembled faces. A gibbous moon had come out from behind clouds, gilding the entire cabin in ghostly silver. It was pretty, but it was cold, and Tina was right: they had to get some heat and a warm drink before bed.
‘You know exactly where the axe is?’ Bette asked Ben.
The boy nodded. His mother was distracted for a second by the fact that she was looking straight into his eyes, because they were almost the same height.

Totally AGREE w/these comments. NOT surprised that the REAL Tibette fam is adorably caotic as evah!!!
After u’ve calmed down from from the Holloman exhibit maybe there’s a chapter wth yall meeting up wth the Kennard-Porters . . .
Hi Dumplin!
Yes, I’m enjoying the family growing up – working out what the kids are into and how having Alice in NY affects things. There’s a lot of moving parts. Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. Means a lot.
Take care
Largo
Largo,
I correct the previous comment . . . DISagree that U have been “arrogant” by calling this masterpiece as “REAL”. Pfff! It certainly I S that!!!
Authors on this site have enraptured us with exquisite insight in filling gaps that were not revealed in TLW nor GenQ.
BaddAss Writers U r!!!!
hahaha, you are the best, Dumplin :-)
The gaps…. the gaps, oh the gaps!
I’m so pleased you enjoy what i enjoy writing. It makes it all worthwhile.

This was so needed, missed & delicious to deavour.
Excellent writing as per your usual postings.
Tibette has so perfectly fit themselves into each other & draw such strength from one another.
And Angie, trying her hardest to find the right fit & balance in her life & love. Hopefully we’ll get to read in the not to distant future who she meets & really falls in love with.
Overall, a gem & this will join all your other endeavours as my all,time favorites.
Thanks for making our holidays a bit more grateful & joyful.
All my best.
Coll,
Aren’t we the blessed ones who get the healing nectar that comes from creative, humorous, nsightful literature??
Glad U spoke of he “joyfulness” that springs forth
Hey D,
Yes, we are very blessed. I deeply appreciate the efforts of all the writers on this site for giving of their time & creativity in imagining these wonderful stories.
We all need joy in our lives in any form.
Take care my friend.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It means so much to me that you enjoy this Tibette world. I like writing them as a solid team in, as you say, a big messy family, just filled with love and support. Everything we never, ever, saw on the show.
Thanks, friends
Largo
the Writers on this ABSOLUTELY prove that lesbian couples can have stable ‘ships and “double-you-over laughter in all the caotic happening that “framily members” bring
