Big Jane Rocks!

[shadybojangles]

If anyone is wondering who Big Jane is she would be my mother. Last night was an interessting night. Lately I havn't been that nice to my mother...I've just been kinda ignoring her a little bit. So tonight she comes over to me and asks what's wrong with me. I say "nothing" and she says something to the effect of "You used to love me..." hahaha or something guilt trippy like that. So I bite and go over to her and she says "Let's do some bonding...although you and I have always been bonded...until you started liking your father more than me." Instead of telling my mom "now mom of course I still love you", I decided to take this oppotunity as an experiment. My parents know that I am gay...I never said "I like Boys" or anything like that to them, but they are not stupid and it's just known and cool. They don't have a problem with it...I like to think of it as how my brother never had to tell my parents that he was straight. Anyway, I figured if mom wanted bonding...then damn it she was gonna get it. So I started by saying that I was having some issues with freinds...and then I said "and you wanna know another reason why I'm upset?" and she said "sure" and I said something about me liking a boy. Before I even had a chance to guess her reaction, without even blinking she just said "Well does he like you?" It was almost like those coversations that kids have with their parents on t.v...it was weird and kinda cool. I always wondered what it would be like to talk to my mom about this stuff, I mean I woud watch my older brother and her talk about his girl problems all the time. So we only talked about the guy thing for like two minutes...but I still feel like it was a big step. I sometimes forget that not everyone has cool parents, and that there are kids who are still afraid to even come out to their friends. I'm very thankful for my parents.I then went over to Mel B's and I told her about it. She was like "WOW Dan you came out to your mom!" I don't really think of it that way because she already knew...but I guess just in case mom had any doubts, I was able to clear them up for her. Well this was a good entry. Thanks for reading kids!
Love,
