1. You made me appreciate redheads. 2. Spend twenty-four hours with me. 3. Green. 4. Your optimism. 5. I was four years old, and you came by to argue with Mother about something. Afterward, you and my dad Bobby took me for a walk in the park, and you told me about the Beach Boys. 6. Seagull. 7. How do you stay so upbeat? (I bet you thought I was going to ask about sex, didn't you?)
1. You're sadder than you should be. 2. Let go. 3. Violet. 4. There's more to you than what you show the world. 5. Can you settle for my best? Our conversation in poem form. 6. A firefly. 7. Why do you talk to me? Actually, let me specify. Now, I imagine you're used to me. Why did you decide to keep talking to me, months ago? I've been told I'm not exactly pleasant.
2. I should. 4. Does that make me disingenuous? 5. That's been my favorite one, too. 7. You challenged me. My way of thinking, my beliefs. Pleasant or not it's honest and it's real.
2. No time like the just-after-a-car-crash present. 4. No. I think you hide yourself from yourself most of all. That's not disingenuous, it's tragic. 7. If you feel like indulging me in another question: there must be other people in your life that challenge you, right? I'm not the only one.

2. Sure. Name the time and the place and I'm there. What'll we do?
5. So I was around even then, when you were little?
7. (To get this out of the way first--yes, I did assume you'd ask me about sex.)
Growing up with my mother gave me a strong sense of focusing on the positive. And years and years of practice at choking down the negative.

5) Yep. Originally.
