You say it practically a million times a day. You make time for just me when you don’t hang out with Brad. Oh, I was at Granny’s and I had water in my mouth and she was doing something with this jacket and I took a big sip of water and I was like “mmm-mmm” and she said “Me.” and I was like “You can understand me?” and she was like “Yeah…” and I was like “You’re amazing!” and she was like “I raised three daughters.”

21. Where is your mom's favorite place to go?

You want to go to Ireland and I don’t know your favorite place to go that you have been but I was thinking like Lubbock or something. I know you want to go to Dublin, Ireland. Can I sleep with you tonight? When I was at Granny's, PaPa watched CSI and I didn't watch it, but I accidentally saw one part and the guy was dead and he was green and moldy and I'm scared, so can I sleep with you? Oh, and you like Sea World.
