There’s this “thing” that I’ve noticed and as your mother I need to bring it to your attention. I don’t really know how to approach the subject, so I’m just gonna jump in right here and . . . you can set me straight as we go. That’s what communication is all about. But remember, my theory is time-tested.

It’s like, I see ya’ll in photographs together and I can’t tell if you’re good friends or lovers.

It’s like, somebody convinced you that those sexually charged photos with one another are sexy.

It’s like, ya’ll really believed Snoop ‘nem so you pose together in explicit ways . . . holdin’ each other sexually with your tongues licking and stuff.

It’s like, you can’t see that those poses were designed by those who really only hope to exploit you in the worse way.
