Advent Drabble 15 - Family

[earlgreytea68]

For kylaraingress 

“Family” is a word that Sherlock finds it difficult to define. It’s easy for him to accept that Mycroft is (lamentably) their family, but Oliver expands the definition to Lestrade easily, uncritically. At the foolish school he attends, he brings home drawings of his “family” – the school is obsessed with talking about “family” – and the drawings always include Mrs. Hudson, even though Sherlock has told him a million times that they are not related to Mrs. Hudson.

Oliver tells him scathingly, “I don’t think you understand the definition of ‘family,’” and Sherlock thinks maybe Oliver is the one who’s right.

Oliver is very wise!

If even Sherlock acknowledges he's wrong and Oliver is right... Of course Oliver is right, Lestrade is an honorary uncle and Mrs Hudson is an honorary grandma. :-)
