TUESDAY 2:10 PM

Hi! Yes! I did. Did you?

I mean, not get home, because you were probably already home? I just mean, um… I guess I mean thanks? For checking up on mw.

*me, that was a typo.

Sorry.

TUESDAY 2:11 PM

It happens to all of us. ;)

TUESDAY 2:11 PM

But I usually proofread!

Um, I was drinking on Friday, so you probably couldn’t tell.

I know that’s weird? But my parents get on my case if I don’t.

TUESDAY 2:12 PM

Can I ask how old you are, sweetheart?

TUESDAY 2:12 PM

Yes!

I mean, I just turned 21. How old are you?

Sorry! Is that rude? I just figured you were old if you want to be called Daddy.

Older! Than me, I mean. Not, like, “old.”

But obviously you don’t have to tell me.

I was just curious.

Oh, you were probably just asking because I mentioned my parents, right? That was probably weird of me.

TUESDAY 2:14 PM

It wasn’t weird, and yes, I’m older than you. Hopefully not “old” yet, though. ;) I’m 35.

TUESDAY 2:15 PM

Oh, that’s not very old!

TUESDAY 2:15 PM

??????????

I’m glad you think so. I’ve got to get back to work, but thank you for replying. My phone died Friday night, but even if I’m not your Daddy, I didn’t feel good about leaving you hanging like that.

TUESDAY 2:16 PM

Thank you.
