Author's Note: I guess I need to explain this a little because the 300 words restriction made me not go as deep as I wanted to. With us learning about Neal's father in the most recent episode, I had a brief discussion with a fellow fan as to Neal's possible childhood. She mentioned she didn't see Neal so much as an abused child (which seems to be a popular theme with the fanfic authors) but more as a child with mostly absent parents and an indifferent nanny, resulting in Neal constantly clamoring for attention. And to me that makes a lot of sense, so I ran with it.

Just because it makes me feel all summery and vacation yearning. (And can we please skip spring this year? Because, you know... hay fever.)
