S/he’s All That
Backstory: To my conservative mother, recycling and having gay friends basically makes you a rebel. She’s always trying to be supportive of my wacky life “choices”. A slip of a pronoun is enough to send her imagination running.
Hi son,
I called your house today and your roommate answered. When asked to speak to you he said, “She’s not here.”
Why’d he say she? Is there something you need to tell me? Let me know.
Love, Mom
