A small conversation:
Hadley, Harper, and I are in the car and John Mayer’s “Edge of Desire,” comes on the radio. Hadley huffs, rests her head on the window, then mutters, “John Mayer is a boy who likes to be sad.”
Harper looks out the window and listens to the song, then says in a voice that I can only imagine is the same tone Juliet would’ve used speaking about Romeo: “This is how I feel about ice-cream.”
Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man,” is on next. Hadley and I, who are in the front and who are also in control of the volume, both scream, “TURN IT UP,” and then with our thumb-mics, proceed to sing as though Mr. Mars can’t do this by himself.
In the back seat, Harper listens and continues to look out the window.
“How was he able to sing this without crying?” Harper asks when the song ends.
