Monday night I made BBQ bacon chicken with cheese, and it was a success. I told the kids that Tmid (tall man I dated) gave me the recipe. Jack said, "I think Tmid still likes you."
Me: Yeah, he does.
Jack: I knowed y'all would probably break up because you and him probably weren't made for each other.

Tuesday morning on the way to school I told the kids I have a date Friday. The questions began... How did you meet him? What does he look like? Gracie asked if he is man enough to wear pink and if he had to choose would he watch a movie with Channing Tatum or Ryan Gosling. That remains to be seen.
Jack: Why are you going on a date?
Me: Well, you said Tmid and I weren't made for each other so I figured I would go out with someone else.
Jack: Do you know how you can make sure a boy likes you?
Me: No, how?
Jack: You just have to laugh at everything he says and then bite your tongue.
Well played, Jack. You are wise beyond your years.
