longnationalnightmare:dietorangesoda:longnationalnightmare:dietorangesoda:Look, I know they were all basically children when the administration started, but Tommy, I’m pretty sure, was a literal school child who got lost on a field trip to the White House and was mistaken for a member of the all-around youthful staff and just got to stay.tommy is so hideously well-behaved that when his mother finally tracks him down 6 years later and frantically demands to know why in god’s name he didn’t Contact an Adult, he’s just like “they kept giving me homework! what was i supposed to do!! not do it????????” tommy didn’t expect to be taking “working in the white house” instead of language arts but you better believe that once he ended up there, he was gonna earn a fucking A+, like, come on, momTurns out being an assistant press secretary is a lot like giving a group presentation every single day of your life, and he’s always been good at group projects! He doesn’t even have to do all the work like in real group projects!!!! Frankly, the most stressful part of his job is bribing Malia Obama with forbidden sugary foods not to tell her dad that he’s actually just an eighth grader at Sidwell Friends and not a college graduate with several years of comm experience on the foreign policy level.“wow” she says, deadpan, as per agreement, “tommy is so old. and uncool. he understands, like, nothing about youth culture.” tommy, who wrote this line, which in fact proves his point, flashes her a thumbs up from across the room. eyeroll. malia spends all of high school telling teachers that tommy’s “here today” but “just went to the bathroom, i think.” he gets all As every semester. it’s just not in his nature not to. -- source link
