surprise! i'm a lesbian!

just a couple days ago, i ate lunch with my brother allen and my friend jake.
on the way out, allen and i started talking about mom, and her issues with our relationships with significant others--or lack thereof:

me: she has her issues with each of us. for joy it's "why won't you let prince charming find you?" with melodie it's, "when are you getting married?" and with you allen it's "don't rush into marriage!" and with me it's "why don't you like boys?!"
jake: you don't like boys?
me: no, my mom just doesn't think i do. she thinks i'm hopeless, actually.*

and then last night she came up to college station and while we were sitting in bed...
mom: so i was thinking, maybe it's because you didn't have a father to hold you when you were little that you don't desire for boys. am i right?
me: no, mom.

*so hopeless, in fact, that she offered me 100 dollars if i went on a date before the end of the semester. ha! haha!
still working on that one.
