QUOTE : I’m sorry, did you just say your boyfriend ditched you to go shoe shopping?” my mom asks her.<br /><br />Charlotte sighs and crosses her arms in front of her. “He didn’t ditch me. I told him he could go because I was tired.”<br /><br />“You don’t really mean shoe shopping right? You meant to say shopping for sports equipment or a new surround sound system, right?” Aunt Liz asks.<br /><br />“He told us his favorite book of all time was Under the Rainbow: The Real Liza Minnelli. I’m pretty sure shoe shopping would be right up his alley,” Mom reminds her.<br /><br />“Has Rocco gotten the memo yet that he’s gay?” Aunt Liz questions her.<br /><br />Tyler starts laughing hysterically and reaches his hand up to fist-bump my aunt.<br /><br />“Seriously, Mom? Are you judging him? That’s really low,” Charlotte complains.<br /><br />“I’m not judging him. Some of the best people I’ve ever met are gay. I just don’t particularly want my daughter dating someone who’s gay.”<br /><br />Charlotte stomps her foot and growls at Liz, and I have to tell myself not to get too excited. I love seeing her get fired up. Her cheeks turn pink and her eyes sparkle. Now is NOT the time to get a boner.<br /><br />“He is NOT gay! He’s just … he’s in touch with his feminine side.”<br /><br />Tyler snorts and Charlotte shoots an angry look in his direction.<br /><br />“Honey, he doesn’t have a feminine side. He has a vagina,” Aunt Liz informs her.
