Summer: Can we get back to Lucy’s date?

Bella: Thanks for wrangling the kittens, mom!

Summer: I got you.

Raven: Kittens?

Bella: Kittens are hard to wrangle because they do what they want and wander all over. Just like this convo.

Raven: Ah.

Me: I’m not going on a date. When would I even have time?

Bella: We’ll help.

Summer: He’s a man in uniform!

Raven: What kind of uniform?

Me: Is he a firefighter?

Summer: …

Raven:

Summer: He’s my cousin’s best friend’s older brother…in-law.

Bella: Come again, now?

Raven: I couldn’t follow that if I tried.

Me: So you don’t know him personally?

Summer: Not technically, but he’s cute. I sent a picture earlier. Scroll up.

Me: Oh yeah. I saw it.

Summer: So, what do you think? Can I set it up?

Me: Summer, are you sure you don’t want to date him?

Summer: He’s not my type.

Raven: Yeah, her type is her best friend’s brother.

Summer: Oh my God, Raven. That was one time!

Bella: What was one time?

Me: You don’t know this story?

Bella: What story?Tell me the story!

Summer: I kissed Raven’s brother RJ in tenth grade. It was during a game of truth or dare.

Raven: He still asks about you.

Me: He does not!
