Not Chickening Out Of The Big Decisions

(My mom and I are discussing my brother being vegetarian and the favorite. I also decided to come out as a transgender.)

Mom: “He’s my favorite son and you’re my favorite daughter.”

Me: “What if I become a man?”

Mom: “Then he’ll still be my favorite son and you’ll be my favorite ‘boog.'” *my childhood nickname* “Why, are you planning on being a man?”

Me: “Well, yeah, I am.”

Mom: “At least you will still eat chicken, unlike your brother… Should I still call [Girlfriend] my son-in-law?”

(Those are some interesting priorities, Mom.)
