[Two middle aged women waiting for the metro on the way back to the office, post lunch]:
MAW1: Is [your son] still with that girl?
MAWA2: Yup. And ya know what? I took his cell phone away and his laptop away and the first thing he says is, Can I call [girl's name] before you take it away? I need to let her know.
MAW1: That's real good. He's learning how to have a relationship. [tone shift]. You know, I had this boy when I was little. He used to live catty-corner from my house. He used to play in the dirt. That lasted until the second grade. But you know, I carried a torch for that man until the 11th grade...He was a big boy by that time. [wistful]
