helenebee: hey honey

pambeesly: hey mom

helenebee: I am so sorry we couldn't make it to your show yesterday

helenebee: your father got so sick all of a sudden

pambeesly: it's really okay, you needed to take care of him

helenebee: next time, I promise

pambeesly: yeah, definitely

helenebee: so how did it go?

pambeesly: fine, it was a good experience

pambeesly: Michael actually bought one of my pieces

helenebee: wow, that's great!

pambeesly: sort of, I mean it was a painting of the building Dunder Mifflin is in

pambeesly: I could have drawn it with crayons and he would have loved it probably

helenebee: don't sell yourself short, honey

helenebee: I bet it was a great painting

helenebee: so who else came?

pambeesly: um, Roy came with Kenny

pambeesly: and Oscar from work came with his boyfriend

pambeesly: and that was about it

helenebee: oh, well, that's nice

pambeesly: I think everyone just had plans, I kind of waited until the last minute to announce it

helenebee: Jim didn't come?

pambeesly: well, a lot of people didn't come, it wasn't a big deal

helenebee: he's always been so enthusiastic about your art, though

pambeesly: it's okay, I didn't really expect him to come

helenebee: but he's your friend

pambeesly: yeah, I guess, I don't know

pambeesly: we haven't really talked since Phyllis' wedding

helenebee: he hasn't talked to you or you haven't talked to him?

pambeesly: um, both, I suppose

pambeesly: he's probably trying to make some statement about Roy, Jim never liked him

helenebee: and what statement are you trying to make?

pambeesly: what do you mean?

helenebee: well, you just said you haven't talked to him either, are you trying to make a statement?

pambeesly: no

helenebee: are you sure?

pambeesly: yes, I'm sure, we just haven't talked

pambeesly: I need to go, Roy and I are going to a movie tonight

helenebee: Roy's taking you to a movie?

pambeesly: yeah, one I actually want to see too

helenebee: wow, he really has changed

pambeesly: he really has, Mom, things are so much better than they were before

helenebee: well, I just want you to be happy

pambeesly: I know

pambeesly: okay, going now, I love you Mom

helenebee: love you too, sweetie
