A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Chris's parents are really cool people. I've only met them a few times, but they were always really nice to me and insisted that I keep in touch. Chris once told me that after meeting me for the first time, his dad said to him, "you usually bring home girls, but this time you brought home a woman!" I've always taken that as a complement.
