BFF

(This post is dedicated to my mom.)

BFF.
"Text talk" for "Best Friends Forever," right?
Wrong.
Let me explain.
My mother and I have an on-going argument about whether the character Boba Fett, who is a Star Wars character, is dead or not. I say he isn't, and my dear mother says that he is. He isn't dead, by the way.
Anyhow, a bit back, my mom and I were up in my older sister's room, cleaning, and I found a piece of cardboard on which was written "B.F.=Boba Fett lives!" This was, obviously, my work, which I estimate was about a year old.I started laughing, and then I showed it to my mom, who just rolled her eyes.
Then both of us looked at it for a moment, and at the same time that my eyes lit up with delight, my mom said, "Oh, no! I know where this is going."
I practically started jumping up and down as I exclaimed, "Oh, oh! Mom, BF? Boba Fett? BFF, Boba Fett Forever!!"
Her pained face was priceless.
So, dear friends, if you ever happen to get something from me with the letters "BFF" on it, then know that I am not, actually, referring to the fact that we happen to be extremely good friends, but the fact that Boba Fett is Forever.
