"Hi mom"

"Hey, honey how's summer vacation treating you?" 

"Ummm...I don't know. How's work?"

"Well, there's this guy getting surgery today on his nose..."

"Why?"

"Trust me, honey, if you would see his nose..."

"So ew, what, you cut it off?"

"No...it's complicated do you want me to give you a couple of years of college over the phone?" 

"No. Definitely not about cutting off people's noses! You should just give him therapy to accept himself rather than CHOP OFF HIS NOSE!"

"Haha, I love you honey. Being a plastic surgeon is way better paying than therapists. Even though that's not bad...People would sooner chop off their faces than love it."

"Oh yeah, talking about loving faces,"

"..." 

"Wow, that sounded bad. I did NOT mean..."

"Is this about He-Who-Is-Not-Named?"

"Mom! You read Harry Potter?! Why did I never know this about you?"

" I am what I am, an' I'm not ashamed. 'Never be ashamed,' my ol' dad used ter say, 'there's some who'll hold it against you, but they're not worth botherin' with."

"What?"

"Say's Hagrid in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

"Oh. I'm..."

"Don't be too dumb-struck honey. I'm only, like, twenty years older than you. Or more. You think I'm that old?"

"I-"

"I'm not  that old."

"Okay...um."

"So what were you going to tell me about you're new crush?"

"Nothing."

"Is that so?"

"Ew, you're starting to sound like him. He's always cheesy and giving me these cute one-liners-"

"I don't trust him. Tell him if he messes with you, and I quote, then I solemnly swear I am up to no good."

"Seriously, mom?"

"..."

"Anyway, I know his name now. And I don't even like him anymore."

"Younge love."

"Mom! You know I'm mature!"

"Yes, I do. Listen, honey, I gotta go now to chop off some noses but let me know if anything creepy happens, okay?"

"Wait, dad texted me! I don't even know what to answer-"

"..."
