“Hey mom! I didn’t expect you to call. I guess you heard the news?”

“Of course I did! I’m so proud of Rebecca! You’re raising such smart children.”

“I, uh, never thought I’d hear you say that.”

“Why wouldn’t I? You know, you really ought to invite me and Kaylynn over for a chat sometime! I’d love to see the kids!”

“Huh. You really want to come over?”

“Yes, absolutely! So, have you decided to let your daughter into the program?”

“Not quite yet, no.”

“Well, why not?”

“Because I don’t know if it’s a good idea.”

“What do you mean? Of course it’s a good idea! She needs to be challenged!”

“And so do my boys, mom. Louis has been a straight A student all his school career.”

“But this is about Rebecca! I’m sure you would have excelled in school if you took as many challenges as your sister, instead of wasting all that time on electives!”

“Mom, this is an elementary school program.”

“Well, you did alright in elementary, then. Why didn’t you get into the program with Angela when you were young?”

“Because no one fucking offered me, mom! They thought I didn’t even exist!”

“Lillith! Language!”

“Mom, I’m… I’m sorry. I’ll call you back tomorrow.”

“Mom, change of plans. We’re not enrolling Renee in the Jacoban Girls Academy.”

“What? Why not? Did she talk to those Peteran crazies again? Or those very friendly fellows who go door to door?”

“No, mom. I don’t… I don’t think she wants to be a girl.”

“What do you mean? Is Aunt Flo in town? Tell her she’ll hit menopause before she knows it!”

“No, no, mom. I think she might actually want to be a boy.”

“Like Cait’s classmate’s father?”

“That’s it! I’ll talk to Mr. Thomas. He’ll know something.”

“Alright, but I want to ask you a favor.”

“Yeah?”

“No matter what, she… or he is your daughter… or son! You need to love her- or him unconditionally. I learned a lot when your sister ran away from home; I don’t want that lesson to hit you the way it hit me.”

“Yeah… Thanks, mom.”

“Angela! It’s your mother!”

“Mom! How’ve you been?”

“Wonderful, now-”

“Heyy! Let’s not forget the stepmom!”

“Oh, welcome, welcome!”

“Mom, I had no idea you and Kaylynn would be here so early. Don’t you have to set up the apartment?”

“Ah-ha-ha! I knew you’d ask that! We actually moved in just before we had the most wonderful vacation in Twikki Island! Your father was never interested in truly enjoying our vacations. Even on our honeymoon, he’d wander off to wherever whenever and I’d have to wait for him!”

“San Myshuno is so nice, from what I’ve seen so far! There’s even an LGBT seniors club at the community center. Pleasantview was never so friendly, but I guess I have some of the blame for that, huh?”

“Why, just the other day, I saw one of those transvestite people! You know, the ones who get that surgery?”

“Mom, they’re transgender, not transvestites.”

“And how would you know?”

“One of the parents at Caitlin’s preschool is transgender. His name is Sam Thomas, if you’ve met him.”

“Now look who’s being politically incorrect! I would at least respect her wishes to be a woman!”

“Mom, no. He transitioned to a man, not to a woman.”

“Now why would anyone want to do that? Men are smelly and messy! They never know what you want in bed! You know, for a romance sim, your father was terrible at Woohoo!”

“Mom, I don’t think that’s how-”

“I’m just glad we don’t have any of that going on in our family! Imagine what grandma and grandpa Oldie would say if they were alive! Why, they’re probably rolling in their grave just from me and Kaylynn alone!”

“Mom, can we not-?”

“Now, let me tell you about how I found out your cousin’s husband gave birth to one of those green people!”
