You couldn’t have told me that nine years ago<\/i>?<\/b><\/p>\n

R:<\/b> Can I park there? What does that sign say?<\/p>\n

S:<\/b> “Patients with children parking only<\/i>.”<\/p>\n

R:<\/b> Oh fine then. Whatever.<\/p>\n

S:<\/b> If I have a kid, but don’t have them with me, can I still park there? Technically I’m a patient with a child.<\/p>\n

R:<\/b> I think you need to have the kid with you.<\/p>\n

S:<\/b> Whatever. Just because I don’t have them with me, doesn’t mean I don’t have them.<\/p>\n

R:<\/b> Wait—is there something you need to tell me?<\/p>\n

S:<\/b> I said “what if<\/i> I have a kid.”<\/p>\n

R:<\/b> I didn’t hear any “what if<\/i>.”<\/p>\n

S:<\/b> Honey, I need to tell you something. Tyler<\/a><\/b> isn’t a fictional character. He’s real. I actually have a fifteen year old kid.<\/p>\n

R:<\/b> You have a kid you never told me about!?<\/p>\n

S:<\/b> All those storylines about Tyler<\/a><\/b> are just an elaborate way to confess I’ve been hiding my kid the entire time I’ve known you.<\/p>\n

R:<\/b> Oh whatever.<\/p>\n
