How much time do you think I have? And, yeah, I know, Dad You're real pissed at me. And my boyfriend, Harry You want us to marry but that's not the way that we see. We want this baby we both think that maybe marriage isn't where we want to be. There you stand yellin' at Mom who is tellin' you this ain't the way things should be. Just back off your high horse and then let life's will of course teach you some needed humility. Love, Your Daughter (remember me?)
