The contrast between Pam being raised by people who can let things go and Roy being raised by people who can't feels significant in explaining their relationship.

A HUMAN-SIZED PITTSBURGH PENGUIN. Amazing use of the prompt and also do those actually exist because I'd like one.

The nut prank is fun. Exactly the sort of thing that would drive Dwight and literally no one else insane.

Last line is a gut-punch.

Pam giving her dad something from the despised team feels very right for her. No wonder she seemed so taken with Jim. She was already pranking long before he showed up. *Salutes another green flag in passing*

Feels like she's getting her feet under her a bit here too. The previous day was a mess in just about every sense of the word. Glad she's got some time to recover. Getting Dwight on the botanical technicalities of nuts is so perfect. Mainly because I'm sure he thought himself an expert on the subject of anything and all things produce, but no, it's just beets. Or at least that's how it reads.

100% agree that if Roy and Pam were to host a party at their place it would be trashed at the end of the night and Pam would be stuck cleaning up since Roy would be passed out. Looking forward to seeing how this shindig of her goes.

Author's Response: She's definitely getting the hang of her life without Roy even this fast--so we'll see how that goes ;)
