With all due respect, if you’re forty-three, then I’m a fetus.
David LevithanAnd who am I to blow against the wind?
David LevithanI showed him the Post-it. “You see They’re from Lily.”
“Who’s Lily?”
“Some girl.”
“Ooh... a girl!”
“Boomer, we’re not in third grade anymore. You don’t say, ‘Ooh... a girl!’”
“What? You fucking her?”
“Okay, Boomer, you’re right. I liked ‘Ooh... a girl!’ much more than that.
Let’s stick with ‘Ooh... a girl!

Boomer took bites of all six varieties, contemplating each one and "guring out the order in which he would then eat them. “I like the
brown one and the lighter brown one and the almost-brown one. I’m not so sure about the minty one. But really, I think the lebkuchen spice
one is the best.”
“The what?”
“The lebkuchen spice one.” He held it up for me. “This one.”
“You’re making that up. What’s a lebkuchen spice? It sounds like a cross between a Keebler elf and a stripper. Hello, my name ees
Lebkuchen Spice, and I vant to show you my cooooookies...”

In my mind, she was Lebkuchen Spice—ironic, Germanic, sexy, and off beat. And, mein Gott, the girl could bake a damn fine cookie … to the point that I wanted to answer her What do you want for Christmas? with a simple More cookies, please!

I mean, there was the beauty pageant answer of world peace, although I’d probably have to render it in the beauty pageant spelling of world peas.

David LevithanI couldn't fault her for believing, because I had to imagine i was nice to have that illusion still intact.
David LevithanAll this hoping for something- or someone- that's maybe hopeless. I'm having a hard time processing what I am supposed to believe, or if I'm even supposed to. There is too much information, and I don't like a lot of it.
David LevithanI want to believe there is a somebody out there just for me. I want to believe that I exist to be there for that somebody.
David LevithanIt's hard to answer a question you haven't been asked. It's hard to show you tried unless you end up succeeding.
