You love her?

I’m not old enough to love.

Sure you are.

How do I know then?

You think about her a lot?

You want to treat her right? Make her happy?

That’s about it.

I thought it was more than that.

Nah.

I guess I love her then.

Okay.

So I can go?

Yes.

Do I have to ask mom?

She’s in agreement.

Thanks, dad.

You see how I treat your mom?

Yes sir.
