Things you could say to your mom, but not your Goth college roommate

3. “The other kids on my Little League team are poopyheads.”
4. “That dress makes you look older.”
5. “Are you and Dad going down to Florida this winter?”
6. “Beautiful sunrise.”
7. “I’m sure glad you turned me on to Donny & Marie; they rock.”
8. “When am I going to get a little brother?”
9. “You and Dad sure made a lot of noise last night. I wish you’d be a little more discreet.”
