Hey mom.
Oh, you don’t have time now.
Oh, you don’t have time to make dinner now.
Oh, you’re coming home late tonight.
Oh, it’s okay I have homework.
By any chance could you he-
Oh, well, I know. Mom. I KNOW.
I have to be independent and do my own homework
but-
I KNOW it’s because you’re in college
because you weren’t independent
because you relied on him
I’m sorry
just two small words to her
she hates them
okay mom
i wont apologize anymore
it’s just one question.
for homework.
but not to my mother.
