What's in a name...

My boy's parents are getting divorced.

As a result, there has been some relative estrangement between father and son, especially on the topic of my friend's dad moving forward in his love life.

My friend is a tad resentful towards the idea of his dad playing the 50+ field.

He summed it up quite nicely for me

"I was on the phone with my dad today, and he told me that he has
a) he has a girlfriend
and
b) my aunt and uncle got a new dog.
So I asked him the dog's name. After hanging up, I realized I had not asked him his girlfriend's."

Ah, love.
