“This is what you’re going to do? Abandon your family to go live as a gay fish?”

This is such a dramatic moment, but that one sentence absolutely killed me. ROTFL

Is it wrong that I hope you’ll choose to stay?

LOL, if you want him to stay, then don't set an alarm clock for when the three days are up and don't talk about 'if this is all we have left'. You're basically talking him out of the whole thing.

OMG, with all that discussion about the new Little Mermaid movie, we simply have to keep in mind how gorgeous the story is. Even though the Disney version sure is tamed down from the original, the story is absolutely gorgeous whether it's a straight or non-straight couple, no matter the color of their skin. I am so loving this beautiful retelling by LA Witt.
