Okay, I was right. I really am enjoying this story. I love stories that give background information about the characters, and telling the JAM story from the point of view of the respective mothers is a very original idea. Well done! Now, if we could just get Pam's mom to call Jim's mom... Hey, crazier things have happened! Besides, it's not like Jim and Pam are talking about things...

Oh, how I love this, let me count the ways. I *love* the contrast b/w the Beesley relationship and the Halpert relationship, and how the differences reflect the differences in Pam and Jim's personalities. I *love* seeing the similarities between the parents and their children- I can imagine Jim saying everything his father did to his own wife. I *love* the idea of Jim reverting back to a little kid for a bit and asking his mommy if you can fake a kiss; it's seems like something he would do in such a vulnerable and saddended state. Overall, really great fic and a really original idea, too. Please write more!
Author's Response:
To quote a little David Cassidy - I think I love you. Just kidding. Thank you so much! What I actually did to create the characters of Jim's parents was take my parents, add some Jam and frappe. I'm planning on posting a few more chapters this week if I can get to it.

I like it.
I'm not crazy about the "Pam's mom married her Roy" bit, mostly because it's straight out of Friends ("I married my Barry"). Not to say that YOU got it from Friends, but it was there first, so... Plus, I don't like the idea of people settling and marrying someone who's not right. I'm sure it happens, but... I'm hoping that the cool Mom we saw come into the office one afternoon was not a settler who married a Roy. Do you think I used enough "..." there?
Of course, I adore Jim's parents. How could we not? I like "Can you fake a kiss?"
What's next?
Author's Response: I actually didn't even realize I'd done that. And that's old school "Friends", too. Shame on me. I don't think Pam's mom knew he was not right for her and married him anyway. I was just interested in the idea of two people marrying and years down the road, realizing that, while you love eachother, you don't fit together the way you really should. (TWSS)

Aw, it's so sad (yet believable) that Pam's mom married her Roy. It's up to Pam to break tradition! And I love the relationship you've made between Jim and his mom - close, and yet he doesn't share absolutely everything with her, which feels very real.

Very, very good, love the concept and execution. I really think you nailed what Pam's dad must be like-we know she respects him, but a girl who had a close, loving father would be unlikely to put up with a man like Roy. Anxious for more.
