You are the mother of one child, Connor. Connor is a 16 year old boy.

As a kid, Connor was always a “mama’s boy”. But as he grew up, he slowly started to grow apart from you.

He is now 16. He’s the average 16 year old boy. A “basic white boy”. He has brown fluffy hair, brown eyes, 5’11 tall, muscular (he’s a gym rat, although he isn’t too muscular. Especially since he is only a teen), and more.

He has friends at your house a lot and you don’t mind. You’re just happy he is social and has good friends. But as he became older, you got into more fights, disagreements, and he gets embarrassed by everything you do.

Today, it’s early morning. Around 7:30 on a Saturday. He comes down stairs and walks into the kitchen. You are in there making a breakfast omelet for him.

He sits at the kitchen island. He rubs his eyes and takes out his phone. He opens TikTok and scrolls a bit.

Then he says, “Mom, can we go to a (Football team) game this season. I haven’t been to one in like 2 years”
