Why’d You Have To Ask?

It wasn’t a conversation I wanted to have with him at all. I probably should have told him to ask the other side of his family, but I know he wouldn’t have been given straight answers.

I finally had to tell him that the reason I have not been inviting her out with and distancing myself from her for the last couple of years is because his grandmother told me to stay away from her and that the girls were not to hang out with me anymore.

Well this isn’t his first account, but it’s the first he’ll actually benefit from. The very first account I had to close because I had to pay child support and couldn’t afford to fund the account. The other day, I was asking about opening one with my new bank but didn’t have all of the necessary documentation with me.

I asked why he didn’t remind me, he said he forgot too. I still feel I should have added it to my Calendar or at least had him add it to his.
