"Mom, have you ever told anybody you loved them? Like, a boyfriend or somethin'?"
"Uh, yes..."
"Really? Who?"
Oh, yes. That's right. Parents don't have those feelings. That would be, like, gross.
"Your dad, Greg..."
"Were you embarrassed a little bit?"
"Maybe the first time I said it, yeah."
"'Cause I was a little embarrassed when I told S. (name withheld to protect the innocent)."
"You told him you love him? What did he say?"
"Nothin'. He just said, 'I know.' I wrote it on the bottom of my pencil pouch. And you know how I used to love M? I still like him, but I don't think I love him any more because, well, it's just that, you know, he's a good kid and all, but he gets so crazy and I'm all like, huuhhhhh." (rolling eyes)
