A family is… A perfectly ‘ordinary’ relationship in the most ‘ordinary’ way. Like, you say, ‘I’m home!’ and you get a, ‘Welcome home!’ back. Doing those ‘ordinary’ things automatically, without even thinking about it, is what a family is. That’s why maybe me and Mom and Daddy weren’t able to be a family.
Hey, Date. What would happen if I...grabbed the wheel and spun it super hard?
I don't think I'll ever understand you...
