"It's because I'm gay,"
I said something I couldn't take back. The words that came out of my mouth and tongue that I vowed to enslave till death were freed. A part of me was overjoyed. Finally, a heavyweight was removed from my shoulder, and I was free. Whatever happens now, I'm out.
But, they started laughing unexpectedly and shockingly. I and Jean exchanged glances, and I could see she was as surprised as I was.
I waited to be told why "my joke" was so amusing. The laughs faded quickly after that.
"When did you become such a comedian, Ella?" dad inquired, his 32s still visible. "Yes, Ella, that was hilarious, just look at how I managed to get rid of the uncomfortable situation, I'm gay LOMEGM" "I believe it's just LMAO, not whatever you just started," my dad responded."I think I'm better at teen slangs," she said, giving him a playful hit on his lap. "Oh come on," Dad said, laughing again. "You must be kidding me, I'm way better at teen slang, right Ella?"
