complicated—at least for me.
How maybe
I’m in a little
over my head.
It’s good, I lie.
We’re making money for sure.
So, that’s great
but tonight’s just a friend hang.
I’m glad to hear it.
And that extra cash won’t hurt
when you’re at college next fall.
I’m proud of you for saving up, Junie.
Shows maturity.
I swallow hard and nod.
Anyway—I’ll be home later.
If that’s cool?I add.
Fine by me. I think your mom’s
out again tonight
taking some job candidates to dinner,
Mama Alice starts.
Plus, I’ve got a date with L Word: Gen Q.
I cannot believe Shane is still doing
the same dirt she used to do
back in the original series—
I know, Mama, I say, trying not to roll my eyes.
Why do you even watch that show?
The acting is terrible.
Now, Junie.
You know I know that
but the acting is not the point.
