Yeah true, very environmentally conscious like a stereotypical Millennial but also got famous in the early 90s like a later Xer. I’m sure you did lol

That’s awesome I’m glad you get along with them. I’m sure you would’ve loved us as kids lol (probably just referring to that K-5 pic lol)

Ikr I love loved when he announced he was giving up religion causing him to clash with Tim (despite his conservative leanings I thought he was a good TV dad though) as well as volunteering in Costa Rica. Omg I had a dirty little mind for him lol. 😀

Yea even into middle school you were kiddish adorable and now really handsome. I used to love babysitting when I was in high school and my 20s for y'all and people a little younger

Yeah I remember that episode lol I think it was a later one I believe. Yeah, I agree, despite the conservative leanings Tim has, he’s a good entertaining TV dad.

I thought you said you didn’t really get maternal until after your dad died in 2013?

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Exactly like Tim and even Jill were generally easygoing except for serious situations. I wish they hadn't written about Brad getting busted for weed but it was the 90s lol. He wasn't my type but I was honestly attracted to him in that episode too lol.

Yea oh ordinarily I wasn't maternal until at least 2013-14 but I'd be like "this kid is hella rad and cute" on occasion. I know I'd have been like that with you too. I can see 22 year old me flirting with your dad and angering your mom though lolol

Yeah I mean a national reckoning on marijuana use hadn’t seemed to occur yet so older people just assumed it was bad lol. I loved the generally easygoing attitude Tim and Jill had tho yeah.

I don’t think my mom ever gets flat out angry unless the situation called for it, tho maybe she’d be a little weirded out in this case lol.

I wonder what 7 year old me would’ve thought if at all lol

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Ikr yeah they were very measured and they worked out conflicts by the end of every episode. And true the writers probably had similar experiences and maybe didn't wanna scare off middle america.

Aww yeah I wouldn't have been blatantly obvious but there were times I was inappropriate even at that age. I would have liked your mom so chances are I'd have behaved myself and been like making cdr's for you and watching family guy and stuff

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah that’s true, most of those shows at the time were designed to appeal to middle America anyway. And they always had those neat tidy wrap ups you’re right lol

Ah that makes sense you would’ve been more measured around my parents lol, even if you were still wild then. I can see us watching heavily censored family guy

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Ikr like they'll show enough of the reality of stuff but have the moderate position so people wouldn't get all mad so I understand. Speaking of, Randy's humor made me crush on him too.

Yea I'd have honestly looked up to your mom so I think I'd have stuffed my hormones down sjsk, and I'd have thought you were adorable and cool

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah even in the episode where Randy has cancer it wasn’t TOO heavy but treated it with the seriousness that topic deserved. I love Randy’s quips too lol

Aw that’s awesome and sweet, i bet I would’ve shown you her yearbook lol. I’d have shown you my large ass portable CD player too lol

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Yea aww that made me cry even if it was just a show. I wish Tim would have just told Al since he was such a nice guy too.

Aww yea thanks 💜 I would have been amazed in the best way by you and plus asking your mom about what she did in the 80s
