Carride with Mom II
Ratticus gets in the car, shutting his door, only to be greeted by his mother immediately with, "So what did you talk about this time?"



Start of a new chapter/next animation chunk, Carride with Mom II!!! Go crazyyyy aaaaaggh go stupid aaaaa!!!!
"...Are you gonna interrogate me every time you pick me up?” "I'm not interrogating. I'm asking you simple questions.”



She 🙄
"...I'm asking you simple questions.” Ratticus glances at her and notices a twig with a leaf in her hair. He promptly says, “You have a twig in your hair.”



Inch resting...
She fixes it, changing the subject as her phone dings. She checks it while driving. "Martha sent me a message asking if I stopped caring about my buns. Just because I left early a few weeks in a row."



Yoga Martha throwing some shade 👀
"Since when do you give a shit what Martha thinks?" "Language. And, I don't." "You said she was a skank whore who won't stop ogling other rats' husbands."



She said she was a WHAT doing WHAT ??
"Ratticus Alexander, language! I would never say that. I don't know where you learn these words." Ratticus squints at her a moment, but doesn't respond.



Right right right right right. right. ri
"...I don't know where you learn these words." Ratticus squints at her a moment, but doesn't respond. She sighs tensely. “I'm at my wit's end with you.” "That’s nothing new." He uses his nail to scratch at a bumpy section of the interior of the car. "Quit damaging the car."



those velvety type cars that the upholstery comes up from ,,, and it can be scratched off but then it looks so unfinished only partially scratched so you keep scratching it to peel it until it's all gone arrrrrggggguhhhh
Ratticus leans his seat back and puts his arms over his eyes. His mom is quiet for a moment as they bump along, then eventually says, "Hey."



Ratticus is like get me OUTA HEEEEERE
"Hey." "Whaaaaat." Ratticus is irritable. "Are you hungry?" His ears perk. "...Yeeeees." Less irritable.



What's mom cookin'....
Ratticus peeks out from his arms. "I get to pick?" His tone shifts to suspicious. "What for? What do you want?"



Bribe clocked 🗣️🗣️
"Well, now that they're settled in, I invited the neighbor girl and her dad over for dinner tomorrow night—" Ratticus groans, which his mother speaks over, "and all I want is for you to be nice!



Ratticus haaaates the idea of seeing neighbors, he does not like, he does not subscribe ✋
"...and all I want is for you to be nice! And, not say anything stupid. And not say anything too smart either. And don't mock me, or your dad, and sit still, no fidgeting, no breathing too loud and don't forget to smile. And don't throw anything."



She just keeps GOINGGGG
"...And don't throw anything." Ratticus mumbles, "This criteria…" She puts up a finger. "Or throw up, like you did when the Rattingtons came over. Don't do that again either." "Okay, that—"



As if he did it on purpose! smh my head
"...And don't throw anything." Ratticus mumbles, "This criteria…" She puts up a finger. "Or throw up, like you did when the Rattingtons came over. Don't do that again either." "Okay, that—"



As if he did it on purpose! smh my head
"Okay, that— I was eating too fast, and it touched my throat dangle." He points into his mouth, then puts his hands up in defense. "I don't know what you want from me."



His throat dangle, dammit!!
"It's called your uvula," his mother attempts to correct. He replies, "My vulva?" "Just be normal! It’s like it’s so hard for you to just be normal."



Ratticus is not with the right audience for these jokes SEND HELP
"Can't you tell them I'm sick with something? Something contagious," he ponders. "Tell them I have an exploding strain of Bigpox." She attempts to keep a straight face, but her smile can be heard as she says, "Ew, Ratticus—"



A smile from mom you say?!
