Quote from Adult Dean in Love & War
Adult Dean: Bruce had had plenty of girlfriends before. I couldn't figure out why this one bothered Mama so much. Lillian: So, um, does your friend, Tammy, cook anything else for you besides cookies? Bruce: Nothing as good as you. Adult Dean: I was old enough to know it wasn't really about the cookies. My guess was it was the fact that Tammy was closer to Mama's age than to Bruce's. Lillian: By the way, I, uh, washed out that cookie tin so you can take it back to her. Adult Dean: And if Bruce dated an older woman with her own cookie tins, he didn't need Mama's anymore.
