Enter one fed-up crazy woman.
"So. Single mum. Used to it. Raising two boys, all has been well for the last twelve years."
She pulls a pack of Rothmans out of the back pocket of her jeans and lights up, a true sign that she's at her wits' end. She never smokes in public. Like....less so than she drinks in public, which is saying a hell of a lot.
"Except now puberty is hitting. Suddenly I'm getting hormones along with the sass. Suddenly my sweet little boys are turning into aggressive little men. Should I douse myself in testosterone to establish dominance? Or should I find a better outlet for my little hellions?"
This marks the first real question Hippolyta Hollister has asked in many, many years. Pay heed.

That gets a barking laugh out of her, and she shakes her head.
"More like upsetting or frightening you, luv! My boys are enough to send angels treading safer grounds. You sure about this?"

"Hippolyta, I've fought hoards of demons, the undead, parastic hellions, and a literal god. I am not frightened of your children. Kids are kids regardless of appearance, right? What do they like? I'll have to think of something we can do that they'll enjoy. They'll hardly notice you're gone, I hope. Let you go enjoy yourself for an evening."

She's grinning at him now, a true and genuine grin. And she's wondering how she never noticed....never mind.
"Pizza, for the most part. That's the one thing they can agree on. And movies. Sammy loves cartoons. Frankie loves anime. If you put on a Miyazaki movie, they'll both be in ecstasies. Ponyo is an especial favorite."
