Charles gasps, faux scandalised, hand to his chest.
"Why does everyone hate my wardrobe?! I'm the Headteacher of a school, what am I supposed to wear, if not suits and jumpers? Am I supposed to attend meetings in full X-Men regalia? Perhaps a bathrobe?"

β β there's a look of horror
slowly blossoming on loki's face
" I suppose just lying then ,
because that sounds absolutely
brutal based on what you wear.. "
β β loki in his own head : avoid jumpers .

"Oh, my friend, actual age has very little to do with a child's idea of what 'old' means. If you're anywhere above twenty-four and you're caught wearing a jumper, you're condemned to the elderly category."
And it definitely has nothing to do with Charles' general mannerismsβ¦

β β I don't honestly believe you
could be much older than
myself , hope that helps with image .

The trick is to take a long, hot bubble bath first, and opt for the silk pyjama set rather than the cotton pyjama set.
It's much more flattering to be called 'prissy' by one's own children than it is to be called /old/.
Charles is fully intending to go to bed at 9PM this evening - not in a hopeless old man, exhausted by his children sort of way, but ideally in a glamorous, languorous, homosexual diva sort of way. It's all in the delivery.
'Would you still love me if I were a worm' is tired, old, predictable. A worm is easy to care for. Unobtrusive.
'Would you still love me if I prioritised my moral code over your moral code' is the real question. It's possible. It's threatening. It happened to me.
That all sounds like futuristic nonsense. The Hays Code method will suffice.
Everyone involved simply keeps one foot on the floor, and the camera cuts to fireworks when anything particularly titillating occurs.
Regular reminder that 'pinch, punch, first of the month' remains banned after an unnamed X-Man accidentally punched a colleague through a wall.
They cannot afford to replace half the school walls every 30 days.
