I’m used to the slight intimidation that comes from people when they hear where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing for most of my life, but I try not to be annoying about it.

Me:
That’s okay. You’ve got time before you start having all the kids.
River:

The last thing I need is to get carded and for River to find out that I amnottwenty-one.
Me:

What’s your favorite movie?
River:
The Godfather probably but like you, I have a list
Me:
Favorite color?
River:
