You are lucky I love you so much.
Jade
I love you too.
Go learn stuff! Be awesome!
Tessa
Have a great first day at school Emma!
Sara
We love you!
Jade
Go kick some MBA ass!
That’s followed by a bunch of school-themed GIFs, from Nemo to cute kids to Grease, which ends in a naughty schoolgirl one sent from Jade. I roll my eyes.
Emma
You had to make it smutty, didn’t you?
Jade
Don’t kink shame! I like the way my legs look in pleated skirts.
And the spankings. You can’t have a naughty schoolgirl fantasy without the spankings.
Tessa
Your legs look great in everything, sweetie.
Jade
Challenge accepted.
I shake my head at Jade’s antics. Tessa is right; Jade looks great in everything. She’s petite, the complete opposite of my wider shoulders and hips and height. But if there’s one thing my friends have taught me in the months since the divorce, it is that clothes do make you feel sexier.
The dress that I wore last weekend, for example, when I went home with Santo. I definitely felt sexy in it.
Then the chat with my friends devolves into Jade sending increasingly ridiculous outfit ideas. The last one I see before I exit the chat is a guy with a black bowl cut and what looks like a bright greeninflatablecrop top.
My kids have also sent messages. It’s a group chat with the four of us: my oldest, Gabby; my middle child, Hattie; and my youngest, Parker.
It’s 8:30 a.m. here, which means it’s 11:30 p.m. back in LA, where Parker is in school. I thought Austin was progressive, but they wanted to go even further. Parker is living their best life right now, studying journalism, surfing in the mornings, and hanging out in gay bars at all hours of the night.
Which means I am not surprised to see a message from them that came in fifteen minutes ago.
Parker
Happy first day of school mom
Emma
Thank you. Now go to bed! Don’t you have class tomorrow?
