(Historical Notes: Not a lot to add on this one, but it does amuse me that mere days before re-posting this page, I was in a conversation about whether Layla’s more of a Big Sister or a Cool Aunt.  I guess she’s settling the issue herself here, huh?  Thanks for the good timing, Layla!  Also, around the point I seem to recall the comment section pointing out that Tabitha’s “mad science” was beginning to sound more and more like some kind of black magic.  That’s an entirely valid observation, and would have been interesting in light of all her arguments with her Dad if I’d been doing it on purpose… but I wasn’t.  It just sounded funny when I wrote it and I didn’t think about how it was adding up to something out of character.  Whoops.)
