What’s that supposed to mean? I thought to myself. I did want to be cool. And I sure didn’t want to give up being cool just so I could get a kiss on the top of my head.

“Oh, don’t worry about what people say, sweetie,” she said, cutting me off.

“And by the way,” I said, “when you call me ‘sweetie’ in class, I was wondering if maybe . . . you know . . .”

“Say no more, sweetie—I mean, Raymond. For the next week, I promise I will not embarrass you anymore.” I didn’t believe her, since embarrassing me seemed to be part of her nature, but I hoped for the best.

“Thanks, Mom,” I said. Then we both returned to class. She kept her word and didn’t embarrass me for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, there were still four more days left.
