this morning #1063.

this morning, out of nowhere, over breakfast, smack dab in the middle of a conversation about my parents, he made a rather odd comment to me. possibly a compliment? hours later, i still don’t know quite how i should take it. “you know, honey…when you wear your hair up like that, you look a lot like your mom.” he scooped a forkful of scrambled eggs into his mouth and, through them continued. “it’s kind of hot.” it took a sec for what he’d said to sink in but once it did, i called for clarification. is he saying he thinks that my mom’s hot? he told me how much he loves me. mumbled something about classical beauty. spewed a few words about good genetics. deflected to another subject.
