I get to moms grave and kneel down beside it "hello mom its been awhile i have been busy and i know you wouldn't approve but i have a boyfriend he's much older than me but he is the nicest person I've ever met and if you were still here i know you would get along and i just realized i left him alone with dad so i should be going back i miss you" i then stand up and start heading back home

I get home and see everyone in the living room talking as if they have all been friends for years "im back" i say to the group who turn to me "welcome back take a seat" dad says and the only open seat is between ooblec and port so i go and sit on romans lap "so what were you guys talking about" i ask "roman was telling us about his past" port explains "was it interesting" i ask "it was quite interesting hearing his side of the story" ooblec says "it was also quite interesting hearing how you two came to know each other" port says "were you really that forward" dad asks "if you're talking about the caves then yes" i say "you have no shame do you" dad asks "not about these things" i say "that's not something to be proud of" ooblec says "well i am it took a lot of work to snag him" i say "still i don't like the idea of you telling everyone about your sexual endeavours" dad says "i only tell people when they ask" i say "that's not much better" port says "probably not but it still is going to happen" i say "i never would have guessed you would have a personality like this its actually quite interesting how well you hid it" ooblec says "well thank you but im not sure what personality you think i have" i say to him "well to be completely honest you seem like a delinquent you don't care how others react to the things you do and you're proud to show them off" port explains "i guess i do sound like a delinquent that's kinda cool" i say "im pretty sure they don't mean it as a compliment" roman says to me "oh" i say
