rorqual"Okay guys - I'm sorry it's come to this, but I don't have a choice. It's time for you to go.
You're four now; that's forty in people years. Honestly, I'd think that you'd be ashamed you were still living at home. Don't you want to go out on your own, live your own lives?
Maybe if you'd once offered to get a job, contribute to the household in some way, it would be different. We've discussed this before. Otto, I really think your athletic abilities would have served you well as a fitness instructor. And Butters, with your ability to find good places to hide things, you have a great mind for architecture. And don't say we didn't have the money to pay for school; I would have found a way. But you guys never even offered, and now I think it's just too late.
I can give you until the end of the month to find another place; I know a lot of people are reluctant to rent to weasels, but you'll just have to look around. You don't have much of a credit record, but I can co-sign if you need me to.
Butters, I'll get you a little bag so you can pack your mousies, and the ray. Otto, I'd appreciate it if you would keep an eye on Butters. Change is hard for him, and I know he can be pesty, but he's your brother. Try not to let him bite anyone. Your rabies shots have just about expired.
I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't love you. Good luck!"
