The One Where My Heart Explodes

I couldn't figure out what he was saying at first. He was hugging me and squeezing one of his dolls at the same time. I thought the word sounded like something familiar, but maybe I'd heard it wrong.

"Friends?" I asked him.

"Uh-huh."

"Are Mommy and Westley friends?"

"Uh-huh."

Boom!
