(Q) son your dating your student?
(S) it's an easy story to tell, julia and I started dating before I became a teacher we met by the coffee shop I work at, Eddie knows the story too because he was close to beating my ass for being a teacher dating his niece she's nineteen and I'm twenty five so it's not a bad age gap

(S) in school forms her name doesn't show the valeńtiena part
(G) my daughter's husband wanted to continue the Lopez name because their were no more valeńtiena's in his family and so he had it changed to Lopez because we felt like a big family to him alot can happen in the 1900s and the world accepted it but once they got married they were the Lopez's instead
