Overheard in the Kitchen

Between my mother and my aunt as they browsed through family photos:

"Isn't this a nice picture?"

"You know he was gay..."

"Bisexual"

"It's the same"

"He killed himself"

"He was being blackmailed"

*pause*

"I don't think Mom knew that..." (code = "I didn't know that.")

"I know, I never told her."

"That's probably a good thing."

"He was in over his head."

"Always was..."

And then they continued on through other pictures as if this was a NORMAL conversation to have!
