Proud of Me

Product Information

Tommy smiled so brightly as he jumped up and hugged Tubbo. Of course, they got first. They were the ultimate duo. No one could deny that. Tommy liked this duet, it was both silly and goofy but held enough maturity for it to have an underlying meaning of having this false confidence in things you do. It connects with him and Turbo because no matter what they have been through they've always had each other to hold on to.

If Puffy ever got the chance to meet the people who hurt them she would make them feel the pain they felt. Puffy was just glad that they had each other. I'm good Puffy! I swear! You know me and Tubbo have been duet partners since I started. I'm not about to let Karl or George take my spot.” Tommy starts off as the goofy silly one, trying to get Tubbo to lighten up but it moves on to both of them being emotional towards each other. With them helping each other.

Josh THINKS he’s found a brother, by way of his dad. He met this maybe-brother on an online forum for DC kids, or donor-conceived kids. Eli is this character, and he goes to meet him in Manchester on the train. He’s excited and absolutely SET to do this, as the “now” denotes at first but as the time gets closer he gets nervous and worries if he’s made the right decision. Has he? Is Eli his true brother? You’ll need to read to find out for yourself! Also, the date they choose to meet is his Mum’s party so will he be late or prepared for that? Kristan was on her way to watch Tommy's first dance at a competition out of town. Tommy had taken the bus with all of his team members, Kristan had told Tommy she would meet him there at the place he was performing at after she dropped Wilbur off at his band practice… Tommy never saw her at his dance competition, in fact, Tommy didn't even know what happened until he had walked home after the whole composition was done, Award in hand. Ridin' through the city, glizzy'd up, they can't get rid of me ( Glizzy'd up, they can't get rid of me) I can understand to a degree Josh's desire however to take the person he knows was a donor and turn him into 'Dad' because he feels a disconnect from his Mums. He knows and although he accepts his family setup is very different from his friends or rather, boys in school, and wishes to see if the unknown would help him understand himself. Simple things like his desire to be perfectly organised whilst everyone else is a bit messy..plus, he's the only male in the house and he feels 'lost' among the three women.

But would I have the courage to send it? Perhaps I should just wait three years till I’m sixteen before trying to find out more? Or I should at least talk to Mum and Ima about it first?

In my mind I plan out the message I’m going to send him: I’ve seen the article, I’m a part of the forum, I was donor-conceived too, I wondered if we could share experiences, I’ve got some questions… If he thought about anything other than his dance he would make a mistake. He couldn't risk making a mistake and failing to get into nationals. That is whats most important, if he could make nationals then he could get a scholarship to go to college far, far away from here. No, I don’t think so. Her mum was a bit funny about it actually. I’m not sure that they approve of us.” Once I was at school, I realized that although some people’s dads weren’t around much, or at all, everyone seemed to have one, somewhere. And they all assumed that I did too.”
