Summer work opportunity

[Joel Carter]

I don't care what he's into
I don't want to hear about it.
Same way he doesn't want to hear about me and his mom.

[Stefjan Auer]

Hey now, you can't say you don't care when you're his dad. Dads care, that's like their job.
Well if they're GOOD dads that is.

Wes thinks what happened to his mom was his fault. :\ I shouldn't be telling you that but
I figure
Maybe you ought to know that

[Joel Carter]

I meant if he's gay or bi or whatever the fuck you kids all are. I care if he's happy. And he's happy with Liza. I just don't need the details.

I know he does. But he doesn't want to tell pops about it. Refused counseling too.

I figure that's what people like you are for. His friends.

[Stefjan Auer]

Oh. You uh. Probably should know at least some details. Like. What if she's got STIs or... you know, stuff like that! My dad asks me ten times a WEEK

Also maybe Wes' friends got issues too! We're
Troubled youths!

[Joel Carter]

We already had that talk. And you think my girlfriend hasn't talked to her daughter?

Are you seeing a counselor? Or do you refuse to?

[Stefjan Auer]

AHA
You are a real dad after all

I'm seeing
A parole officer who thinks he's a counselor sir. It's pretty annoying having him ask if I hate my parents all the time.

[Joel Carter]

Well you gotta, if you're being a punk   

[Stefjan Auer]

Psh no
I love my parents. I love my family.

But they're too CAREFUL. About EVERYTHING. I swear they would've bubble-wrapped me if they could've when I was a kid.

[Joel Carter]

Yeah. We parents get that way sometimes.

Wes was my first kid and I swear to fuck I was so paranoid I was going to accidentally kill him. He was so tiny and breakable. Some parents only remember that part.

[Stefjan Auer]

But I'm the third!! They had my bro and my sis! And

How come I always end up paying for my older siblings' mistakes? Gunter crashed his car, so I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK!? How's that fair?!

[Joel Carter]

They're just worried. Eventually they're gonna have to let go.

[Stefjan Auer]

...maybe getting in trouble with the law doesn't help them not be worried huh?

[Joel Carter]

You think?

[Stefjan Auer]

I'M A TROUBLE YOUTH!
I'm so troubled you got no idea!!!

[Joel Carter]

Then you best stay away from my boy.
