TRIFECTA: WK 53

This week's prompt for Trifecta is dialogue. 

Everyone knows I like to talk so this should be a breeze.

:)

"I like that outfit on that mannequin."

"He’s cute, Mom."

"That’s a boy mannequin."

"I know.  I like boys."

“You do?”

“Yes.  I was just trying to find a way to tell you.”


This is not word for word how the conversation went but pretty darn close.  We were at the mall and we were talking about a mannequin.  It's hard to put such a moment into 33 words.  I did my best.  

He has a date tonight.  (My son, not the mannequin hehe)

I wasn't motivated either.  It's your post that did the trick!  Thanks.

Your son is blessed in the mother he has. And you are blessed in your sn.

I actually pictured that as a mother and daughter. Was it, because that would've been interesting? She thought her daughter was gay, but she wasn't.

If not, that's cool too.

A conversation about identity, while looking at something with no personality at all. Brilliantly captured!

I love how personal you made this. It says more about you than about your son. Beautiful story.
