Winter break, 2009. She asks,
Was it with a girl?
What?
Was it with a girl?
What ... what does that matter?
It matters a lot.
It's really none of your business.
Have you ever been with a man?
Mom, I'm an adult.
Have you ever been attracted to a man?
I tend to be attracted to the individual, not whether they have a penis or a vagina.
Well, if you've ever been with a man, don't tell me.
I won't.
Because it's wrong, it's disgusting and it would break my heart.
She goes to get dressed for work. She comes back.
You need to find a good Christian woman.
Well, she's not going to be Christian. Maybe a liberal, liberal Christian, but -
A good Christian woman.
What does it matter if she's Christian?
It matters that she's a woman.
She goes to get dressed some more. Comes back.
You know what you need? A nice, Asian girlfriend.
What?
I'ma pray for you a nice Asian girlfriend.
Haha.
I'm serious. I just thought you'd find a freshman girl or something.
No, freshmen are too young.
You're only a couple years apart.
But they're in such different places in their life.
Yeah.
Goes. Comes back. I ask,
So ... where are we? Are we good?
I love you unconditionally. No matter what you do. There may be things that I don't approve of, but I'll still love you.
I love you unconditionally, too.
I couldn't handle you having a boyfriend and bringing him in the house and everything.
I don't have a boyfriend.
Good ... So where are we? Are we good? Do you love me?
Of course I love you. I just get scared.
I just want you to go down the right path.
Well, I'm already an atheist going to hell.
I know and I could cry about it if I wanted to ... Billy Graham's son didn't get saved until he was 27.
Well, I've got six years.
The Bible says to raise them up in the ways that you should and when they're older they won't depart from you.
I know. I know.
Maybe God's giving you all this head knowledge and one day he'll give you a heart knowledge.
We hug.
I love you.
I love you, too.
She leaves the house. I sit and write this down. She rushes back.
Forgot my keys. I don't know where my mind is going.
