"Maybe it was just a coincidence. Quit looking at them, they're probably thriving off seeing your face. It gives them something to film. Close the curtains, call the sheriff's office so they can get rid of those piranhas and I'll see you when I get home. I love you."

"Wait a minute, before you go."

"Yes mom?"

"Make sure you bring that boy in with you when you get back home. We need to have a talk."

"Yes ma'am."
