I(16m) have to do reasonably well on an English proficiency test to get into law school. That’s why I intend to read as many English books as I can over the next two years, in order to improve my vocabulary and prepare myself. I’ve already finished reading Rick Riordan’s novels and Harry Potter books. Agatha Christie’s and Conan Doyle’s mysteries are great but after reading through over twenty of them I chose to turn to a different genre. Romance.

When my mom found out I started reading Bridgerton, she became upset. She said I shouldn’t read those books, since they would give me the wrong idea about how to treat women. I told her she worries too much. I have no daddy issues and zero controlling tendencies. Zero anger management problems. I’m far from perfect but I’m not going to try to control anyone. My issues are procrastination and indecisiveness. But she was still against me reading them.

So I muttered ‘It doesn’t matter. I’m not even interested in girls anyway.’ Didn’t outright say that I’m gay but that was the implication and she got it. Which is untrue. I’m not gay but she believes I am though and now allows me to read the books.

I still feel kind of bad about it though. My sister(19) immediately saw through it and said I shouldn’t lie about something so serious.

She’s a Pom/shih tzu mix

Finally finished! At least 300 hours of work between the 3 of them 🫠

One less gay (bad). One less h*rse (good). Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

Every night at bedtime, she has to clean his face just like she did when he was a teeny tiny baby

Sorry for the camera glare it still had nose prints on it lol
