A: Anyway, it’s just a matter of time before she’ll join.
M: Mom, please…
A: I’m talking to someone, okay?
M: It’s just that it’s my birthday and you said I could have anything I want.
A: Well, what do you want?
M: Mom! I said I wanna meet Kevin.
A: You want to meet Kevin? Minnie, did I not tell you that you could have a boyfriend on the computer, but you could not meet him till after college?
Mo: Ah yes, tell her. Don’t commit.
A: How would the other boys have a chance?
M: What other boys?
A: Well, what I’m saying is…
M: I just want to meet him in person, that’s all?
A: Remember what I said about having a boyfriend? No physical contact whatsoever.
Mo: That’s what I'm saying.
M: (Minnie rushes off crying) What would I do? What would I say, if I actually met him in person? I might be speechless.
