Home schooled?

Well we wouldn't want the exposed,

To all that amoral, secular, humanist, devil worship

in the public school system now would we.

It must be rough on you Brian.

Did they make you sacrifice the goat at the

beginning of class or the end?

My daddy is going to find him a new job.

Can't get enough of it isn't that nice.

Long walks, Oh and puppies we both just love puppies.

Well that is nice.

and talk about the silliest little things for hour after hour after hour,

and he won't even say a word.

Really?

So dear whens the wedding?

Well we haven't set a date yet,

but I do like the idea of a June wedding.

He means do you know that your Fiancee is gay?

Oh god... Oh god... oh mom.

and I get to save a soul for our lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

He's a twofer.

I thought you would be kind of happy that I am settling down.

Yeah... I guess...

So Chase you help me out here.

I thought that being gay, meant you fall in love with other men.

That's what I thought.

Just checking.

So Brian do you love this girl?

Mom I like her a lot....

and I will love my kids.

Oh and he is going love me Mrs Davis

Tried flirting?

Yes!

Flattery?

Yes.

into another woman's secrets but....

Oh pry away.

to ask you since I laid eye's on you.

Mom she is a sweet girl.

So?

You just don't know what it's like...

I keep going to these clubs and half the

guys are on crystal meth,

and the other half are sneering at me,

because god forbid they actually talk to

someone born before 1980.

It's not that bad.

You wait 5 years and then you come and talk to me.

But Brian...

Mom I don't want to waste the rest of my life chasing,

after someone who cares more about what gym

I go to than what is going on with me

I want someone who cares about me.

It's all I want.

Then be happy for me.

(Jenny sequels) It's so cool...

You sure know a lot about make up.

I have a lot to hide.

Oh they couldn't impose.

getting the two of you together.

And sometimes I like having the home court advantage.
