"I'll wait for you in your car Sam."I slipped on some sneakers and grabbed my wallet and keys from the dish on the counter."She's cute Sam. Nice job."...My mom said, smiling at me. "Just remember if anything does ever happen between you two, use protection." Jesus mom you act like I'm 10. I'm 18 now I'll be fine." I sighed in response."Okay, Okay," she said, holding her hands up in surrender but still smiling.I left the house, my face red. I opened my truck door and climbed inside. Kristina was. Soconfusing. I didn't even know how to explain it all to myself much lessher, nor was I really sure that I could trust her with something thatpersonal. Finally it was the sincere look on her face that decided me."This is pretty hard to get used to," I told her, "but I guess it'ssomething else too." I paused a minute, then asked, "Do you rememberwhen I told you about...about my mom?" Yeah," she responded slowly, looking a little confused."Well..." I paused, licking my lips slowly, "I found out. I think I ate something that disagreed with her last night. I've had an upset tummy all morning and the world's stinkiest diarrhea. I'm sorry if I fart and it stinks, but I just want to be held."I held and loved on Liz. I kissed her tummy and told our baby to settle down. Dani brought Liz a cup of tea and sat on the arm of the chair petting her."Mmm. What is this?" Liz asked."Raspberry leaf and cinnamon," Dani said. "It helps prepare the uterus for labor and ripen the cervix." Labor? But I'm. At halftime, Clemsonis up 21-14! Just before the start of thethird quarter, Lisa and I go to the bathroom and she tells me that Scottdoesn't have a lot of money and thatlosing a month's rent is really going tohurt him. He's already talking to Billabout borrowing some money andpaying him back over several months. I start to feel bad because this is reallyabout bragging rights and knowinghe has to borrow money to pay off thebet takes some of the fun out of it forme (as it turns out - stupid me!)..
