You just need the right moment to introduce your parents to a talking fantasy creature. Like...when they accidentally come across them.
Text version of today's comic for screen readers
Panel 1: Andrea hears her mom's car pull into the driveway and gets a paniced expression on her face. Melanie and Kay look in the same direction as Andrea, who is still holding Mr. Sprinkles.
Off-panel sound effect: "VRRRRMMmmm...."
Andrea: "Oh no, mom's home! We can't let her see Kay!"
Panel 2: Andrea looks worried and turns to Melanie. Mr. Sprinkles eyes narrow and he lightly waves an arm towards Kay, who tilts away from Mr. Sprinkles' reach.
Off-panel sound effect: "SLAM! Tap tap tap."
Andrea: "Quick Melanie, take Kay to my room! We'll sort all this out later!"
Melanie: "Sure Andrea, but why not let your mom meet Kay?"
Panel 3: Andrea gives Melanie a mildly annoyed look. Melanie grins and walks away, with a happy Kay flying behind her. Mr. Sprinkles' eyes narrow even more as he tries harder to reach her with his paw.
Off-panel sound effect: "jingle jingle CLICK"
Andrea: "Really? You'd show your parents a talking fantasy creature? Wait, actually you would. Nevermind, just go!"
Kay: "Are there any cookies in her room?"
Melanie: "Only ones meant for cats!"
