Oh, hey little dude! The name’s Cory. What’s yours?

F’n A. You seem like a cool dude. How old are you?

Oh wow, 14. You looked much younger in your Mom’s profile pics. Yeah, I’m gonna be taking her out to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight!

Yeah, if all goes well, I’ll be back here tonight. Maybe I’ll bring any leftovers in with me, drop ’em off in the fridge and you can have some tomorrow.

(one minute of silence later)

You got a nice house. I’m really diggin’ this couch thingy. REALLY DIGGIN’ IT.

(one minute of silence later)

Before I left the house to come here, I was watching Wedding Crashers. You ever seen that movie?

That’s some funny shit.

(one minute of silence later)

So, you’re in middle school, huh?

You play any sports?

Yeah…tennis is cool.

(one minute of silence later)

So what happened to your Dad? Why isn’t he in the picture anymore? Did he sleep around or something?

Oh, shit. I had no idea. I’m sorry.

(one minute of silence later)

What kind of system you got?

Sweet. I got a 360.

(two minutes of silence later)

Man, your Mom takes a long fuckin’ time to get ready.
