A text message conversation with la Stepdaughter, circa like 6 months ago-ish:
In case you’re wondering: I firmly believe that introducing her to Tim Riggins and Logan (Veronica Mars, not pictured texted, but still high ranking in our affections and yes I am conflicted about that given his concerning tendencies but I’m working past it and making it a teachable moment and all that because: Logan) is one of the better things I’ve done as a stepmother. Culture is important, people!
(This text was also sent around the time that she complained “Ugh, I have NO idea why you think Alcide is so hot” and I had to explain that it was likely because we make her cover her eyes when he takes his shirt off. It’s hard to be a kid. Someday she’ll see The Truth)




I don’t know who any of those people are. I think Veronica Mars was a blonde girl, but I can’t remember her name. Kristen Bell? Am I a loser? It’s all I can do to keep up with NCIS reruns.
“Yeah, Gibbs.”
I’m going to need you to watch two seasons of Friday Night Lights and call me in the morning.
