Mom: You didn’t tell me a certain someone was traded and playing for the Lonestar Bobcats now.
Me: It was definitely a surprise.
Mom: How does that make you feel?
Me: Honestly, I think I was more upset that Andrew didn’t tell me before. He’s my cousin and knew Ethan was coming back to town. I would’ve appreciated the warning before I showed up to his house lastweekend for a team dinner.
Mom: He was there too?
Me: Yeah, I thought that’s what you meant.
Mom:
Mom: No
Mom: Is something going on there? Your aunt said she thought she saw something between the two of you at your grandparents.
Me:
Mom: Daisy!
Me: I don’t know!
Me: We’re seeing if something is there.
I can’t bringmyself to admit to her that there is definitely something there. I’m not sure if I completely believe it myself. I feel as if I’m going to wake up from this weird dream at anymoment.
Me: We’re taking it one day at a time.
Mom: Moving slow then?
Me: Exactly.
Mom: Then why did your aunt say she hasn’t seen his truck leave the house since?
Ugh!I’m going to have to go by her house and have a talk with her. We need a girl code now that doesn’t involve my mother. I wish Delilah were around. My cousin would get it. But no, she’s off chasing tornadoes or whatever it is she does.
Me: He’s not here. He’s at hockey practice.
Me: I think.
Mom: Mmmhmmm
Mom: …
Mom: Just be safe.
Mom: Safety first.
Me: Mom!!
Mom: Although, I wouldn’t turn down grand babies. I’m not getting any younger.
Me: Mother!!!!
Mom: Neither are you.
Me: I can’t with you right now.
