Around 7:00 P.M, Haley's mom arrived home from the office. After she locked the front door, she entered the
living room to find me and Haley playing video games.
"Oh, hey mom. This is Joey. Joey, my mom."
I waved politely, and her mom acknowledged me in kind.
"New friend?" she asked.
"Better. She's my girlfriend." Haley looked at me sweetly, and then grabbed me into a bear hug.
Haley's mom did a quick spit take, but composed herself in time as not to look TOO rude.
"Oh, that's lovely. Where did you meet her?"
"At school. She used to be Joey. You know, that boy I'm kinda sorta of friends with? He turned into a girl
very suddenly today, and then she's like 'I'm lesbian too! Want to be my girlfriend?'.
The magic of my wish took effect, and Haley's mom didn't question her daughter's absurd explanation.
"Oh, that's nice. I'd ask Josephine to stay for dinner, but I'm sure her parents already have something on the
table at her house."
