Toni

I was at MR chows with Jr. I invited Kenny to meet us for lunch. We're going to talk about colleges for him. He walked in and kissed me and then he sat down in his seat.

Kenny: sorry I'm late

Toni: it's fine, so what colleges are you looking at now

Jr: I've applied for UCLA, LSU, and Juilliard

Toni: ok, so what was the feedback for Juilliard

Jr: I had to send them a video of me playing guitar and piano. They like me, and so they will call me Monday and tell me if I got in or not. that's my top choice right now

Kenny: You know Juilliard is very expensive right!

Jr: yes dad I know

Kenny: Ok me and you momma not paying all that money for you to go to New York and party and joke around. You need to be strictly focused on your education, we don't need to waste money on you we have three more kids to put through college

Jr: yes sir I know 

Toni: and in your free time, instead of hanging out with your boys. You need to be online looking for apartments

Jr: I will, you guys are telling me stuff that I already know

Kenny: Have you ordered any books yet

Jr: no

Kenny: have you signed up for any scholarships, because that music  scholarship is not going to do much.

Jr: no

Kenny: and have you even looked for a job in New York

Jr: no

Kenny: then you don't know all of this! Jr your graduation is over, your out of high school. You can't live with us forever

Jr: but y'all do push me hard, y'all don't push Madison like that

Toni: Madison is 16 and already taking senior classes we do push her hard

Kenny: me and your mom will keep pushing you. I'm not about to be a grandpa at 43 and your not going to be in jail. Your going to make something out of yourself.

Jr: fine I have to go to the studio, Clive has me running around like crazy. Dad I should have been your intern

Toni: will see you later son
