Backstory: my son's (17m) gf (16f) and him have been having a bit of trouble lately. She's been pulling the whole 'I can have male friends but you aren't allowed to so much as look at other girls' thing. Typical teenage bs. I've been attempting to school him in how he'd be better off single and concentrating on himself and where he wants to go in life but since I'm just Dad I must not know what I'm talking about, I'm old and out of touch, blah blah blah....

So, he comes home from his mother's house like 45 minutes ago and he's talking with my roommate about this whole situation with his gf.

Cast: K (kid), R (best roomie ever, expert logician)

K: so she's not talking to me, again, because (chick from xbox that lives 800 miles away) sent me a message and she saw it.

R: wait, what? Doesn't she have like 8 dudes she's always chatting up on snap?

K: yeah, but wtf do I care? She can do whatever she wants, doesn't bother me.

R: ok, let's do some math quick. You've got you and her, 1+1, right? How many is that?

K: 2?

R: and now what's 2+2? 4. 4+4?

K: 8? What's this getting at?

R: and how many dudes are trying to bang your gf?

K: like 8.

R: and what's 1-1?

K: zero...

R: PROBLEMS! Dump her ass! You minus her equals zero problems!

Maybe he'll listen. We can only hope.
