251 - What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done while sober?

[number_eight]

I don’t get drunk, so I guess pretty much anything I do that’s supposed to be embarrassing will be while I’m sober. Honestly, I can’t think of anything, though. I’ve done some things that in hindsight weren’t the brightest of ideas because, yes, I realize I tend to act before I think things through and later on I regret it.

Like the time I choked Cottle because I was convinced that he had murdered my daughter, Hera. (He hadn’t.)

Like the time I shot and killed the Six model who was coming near Hera, threatening her like she was in my vision. (She wasn’t.)

Like the time I let the Cavil model onboard Galactica simply because I was angry about Hera getting murdered. (She wasn’t.)

Looking back, I’m noticing a trend, though, and it all concerns my daughter. Hopefully she won’t grow up to think that I’m some terribly overprotective mother.

Maybe that’s what I should be embarrassed about.

I suppose so, Madam President, but I don't want her to hate me at the same time. Although given the strange circumstances surrounding her "future", I don't think I can be anything else but protective.

OOC: Thank you!

Hmm.

Perhaps when she's old enough, you and her father could sit down with her and explain your reasons for worrying for her. All of them.

Maybe. And maybe then, she'll understand. I can only hope.
