"A teacher?" Peter asked.

"No," Neal negated.

"Hm. An animal psychologist."

Neal gave him a look. "Are you serious?"

"Okay. A dressmaker."

"You really suck at guessing."

"And you won't help steer me on the right track."

"For good reason."

Peter sighed. "You already told me your father was a cop. Why can't you tell me what your mother did for a living?"

Neal smiled a nontransparent smile. "Now, where would be the fun in that?"

"Fun? Who says this is supposed to be fun?" Peter grumbled. Then his face lit up. "Oh, I know! A hairdresser!"

Neal just groaned.

Hee! This is cute! I can just see them having this conversation. "An animal psychologist." That's actually a pretty awesomely specific guess there, Peter. XD

Now I wanna know what Neal's mother did for a living!

This is really very cute. Now I'm wondering just what Neal's mom did.

LOL! Oh, fun. Poor Neal... A little information only fuels Peter's curiosity, really.

It is an interesting question, though... One has to wonder how many of his interests/talents Neal might have inherited from his mother's side.

Heeheeheeheehee!

That icon perfectly sums up my reaction to this fic, too! :D

You guys crack me up. As to what Neal's mom did for a living, well... *shrugs* Your guess is as good as mine (or Peter's). ;o)

[tj-teejay.livejournal.com]

Like I said above, your guess is as good as mine (or Peter's). ;o)

Oh yeah, it would definitely be interesting to get more of a glance into Neal's past. How paranoid are you about spoilers? Because while I'm usually very spoilerphobic, I picked up this little snippet that I think might turn out very interesting for the Collars.

:o)

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

Oh, do tell, please! I love spoilers. *g* I don't like being unpleasantly surprised, and I do enjoy anticipating fun things, so I'm good all around. ^.^

It's nothing specific, really, but I read somewhere that in season three, we're going to see Neal's parents. I don't know if it's going to be in a flashback or "today", but I'm kinda excited already.

Oooo... Now that would be very cool. Whether it was present time or flashback - lots of possibilities for intriguing revelations either way! :D
