Me and Evan were currently walking through the park. It had those little kiddy swings for babies or dumbasses who make stupid bets to see if they can get out of them.
Then we passed this really big tree, like this humongous tree. Just the trunk was bigger than the both of us, probably like three times bigger.
I stop and look at it. Like how can a tree even get this big? What does it even do? Give more air? A road blocker so when you can't catch your kid they just run into it?
"Do you know what kind of tree this is?!" I suddenly hear Evan almost squeal as he's jumping up and down. He's staring at me with puppy like eyes. Jeez, how excited can you get about a tree?
"Nope." I'm not that enthused about it.
"Do you want me to tell you?!"
"I don't really care." (I know it seems like I'm making Jared a big jerk but it's just for the story. Bathbombboi is amazing.)
"Oh." Then his whole excited puppy persona drops, the smile fades, the bouncing stops, his eyes stop… shimmering. Fuck it.
"Kidding! Now tell me, what is it?" I give him a smile. Then he goes back to the way he was before.
"It's so cool, it's actually called…" then he starts to trail off about everything he knows about it. I couldn't care less about the tree, but I do care about him.
