Josh was working on his Health and Wellness homework.
"Mom, this is sort of a weird question, but not really since it's for Health and Wellness. What is a statement that might indicate that a teen is considering suicide?"
"'Here, take my "favorite thing". I don't need it any more.'"
"Whoa! That's what was in the video we watched today! I didn't even think of that! How do you know so much about teen suicide?"
"I know All The Things."
"No, you don't know All The Things. You just know lots of things."
"No, really, I'm the mommy. I know All The Things."
He disagreed. I challenged him. "Go ahead. Try to ask me something I don't know."
He peered at me for a moment. "Okay. Who does Kate like?"
*slinks off in defeat*
