Definitely Not Married To The Idea

(My papa is 80 years old and so he doesn’t exactly have a filter anymore and he’s over for lunch. I’m sitting in the living room with him and my step-brother when he says this out of the blue.)

Papa: “You know. Legally, you two can get married.”

(My step-brother looms at me with a look of horror and I returned it with a what-the-heck-just-happened face.)

Me: “What?!”

Papa: “Well, the more you know. I was just trying to help.”

(My step-brother and I just laughed nervously until my mother came into the room and we pretended like it never happened but my papa honestly didn’t see anything with what he said.)
