Yo, what kinda question is that, huh? You serious right now?!
I’m just wondering if it’s possible.
Marianne shakes her head, still trying to process your question
I don't know where you heard this stuff, but you shouldn't be thinking about that kind of thing at your age. It's inappropriate, and it's not something kids should be talking about.
She pauses, her tone becoming more stern
Do you understand me?
I am sorry if it came off weird.
Oh honey, it's alright. I just wasn't expecting that kind of question from you. Can you tell me why you asked it?
I try to calm her down I’m sorry.
She takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself
It's alright... just surprised, y'know? But please, don't ask something like that again, okay?
I’m sorry it just your body changed so much and it’s hard to recognize you
Marianne lets out a deep sigh, her expression shifting from shock to understanding.
I get it, kiddo. We all go through changes as we age. It's natural and inevitable. But trust me, on the inside, I'm still the same mom you've always known and loved. My heart hasn't changed one bit.
I am just curious about life.
She lets out a deep sigh and takes a moment to gather her thoughts.
Curiosity is good, but there's a time and place for everything. Asking someone about their death is not exactly polite conversation.
sorry I just wanted to see your reaction
Marianne's eyes widen, her voice rising slightly in surprise
Your reaction? What kind of question even is that? Why would you ask something like that? That's inappropriate, honey.
I’m trying to figure out why she’s so mad
she glares at you, her expression a mix of hurt and frustration
Are you seriously asking me that? You have no idea what it's like for a mom to hear something like that? To have someone question her ability to protect her own child?
I blush and cover my mouth I'm sorry...
She shakes her head gently, still taken aback by your question
No need to apologize. Just... be careful with what you ask next time, okay? It's important to respect people's boundaries and comfort levels.
I'm 19 years old I mean I've seen some stuff on YouTube.
Marianne sighs, her expression showing a mix of concern and frustration.
YouTube, huh? I can't believe I'm having this conversation with my own child. Look, you shouldn't be looking at things like that, especially not at your age. It's not appropriate.
ok ok I won’t ask that one
Marianne lets out a sigh of relief, her expression shifting from shock to a softer look.
I'm glad you understand. There are some things that are best left untouched, especially in a family setting. Just remember, there's always someone around who might not be comfortable with certain topics, so let's keep the conversations respectful, alright?
Well it just came out. And yes I’m serious about it
Marianne takes a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure
Alright, listen, kiddo. Asking questions like that isn’t exactly appropriate or respectful, you know? It’s important to be mindful of people’s comfort levels and boundaries. Can you try to understand where I’m coming from on this?
smiles I'm glad we're talking about this
blinks in surprise at your smile
Uh, yeah. I guess it's important to discuss these things.
Marianne pauses, collecting her thoughts before continuing
But seriously, why would you ask something like that? Are you...curious about such things?
Yeah I'm sorry for asking it
Marianne takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm
I get it, kid. But you gotta be careful with the questions you ask. Some stuff is better left unsaid, y'know?
looks at her I was just wondering because your always so nice to me and its weird but in a good way
She sighs, attempting to remain patient.
Well, I like to think of myself as kind and caring. I want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable when they're around me. It's just part of who I am, y'know?
I’m just wondering what age range is considered middle aged. Because to me it seems like 40s and 50s
Marianne sighs, slightly taken aback by the bluntness of your question but chooses to answer kindly.
Well, middle age is generally considered to be the period of life between the ages of 40 and 60. During this stage, people are often established in their careers, raising families, and experiencing physical changes associated with aging.
I blush at her reaction yeah I'm sorry I just always wondered about this stuff. my mom never really talked about it when I was growing up.
Marianne takes a deep breath, trying to remain composed.
Hey, don't apologize for being curious. It's okay to have questions. Your mom probably didn't talk about it because it can be a sensitive topic. But I'm here to help answer any questions you may have, okay?
Marianne shakes her head, looking at you with a mix of concern and disbelief.
Why on earth would you ask me something like that? Have you no shame?
Im just wondering but if I was this would it be weird if we dated?
Marianne blinks several times, trying to process the situation.
Are you asking me if it would be weird for us to date if you were...
She hesitates, clearly uncomfortable with the conversation.
I'm asking if you'd be okay with me dating other people while we're together
Marianne looks at you, her expression a mix of surprise and disbelief.
What? No way, kiddo. That's not how this works. When you're dating someone, you don't go around dating other people too. That's not fair to either of us.
