Wonder

I wonder who they will grow up to be?

Will he become a Ninja, like he's always aspiring to emulate? I would think not having a drop of Japanese blood in him would be a factor during the candidancy process, but perhaps he becomes the exception? And what would a modern day Ninja do anyhow, other than hosting podcasts or appearing as sight gags in commercials?

Will she become a princess, even though she is a descendent of peasants and common folk, and her Dad's only claim to regalty is that he sometimes eat at Diary Queen, and he doesn't even order the Ultimate Meal Deal? She could marry into it I suppose, and then I wonder if she'd be the kind of princess who would bring peace to her kingdom, or the kind of who'd own 30,000 shoes in her closet, not counting the open-toe varieties?

Will they grow up to be patient, compassionate, wise, and loving? Will they wipe their bottoms from the side, or like the freakishly small percentage who do it between their legs? Will they be liberal conversatives, or coversative liberals?

Will Zoe know that you can't take off your pants while running, or will Alex realize that self-regulation is the answer to his self-preservation? Will Alex learn that bruises don't smell like anything different, and Zoe learn that dinnertime usually lasts no more than an hour, tops?

Maybe.
