This is like one of those romance novels where people bond over accidentally writing each other emails but better.

i've always been vaguely aware my parents met because my mom played volleyball with one of my dad's coworkers. and that said friend/coworker is gay. well im going through a stack of old photos of my mom when she was in her 20s when my mom comes up behind me and she's like oh hey that's the old gay volleyball league! that's where i met Tim he introduced me to your dad ☺️ and im like Hold Up mom what do you mean the gay volleyball league. And as I say this i'm holding a picture that's my mom surrounded by a bunch of twinks all smiling at the camera in volleyball uniforms. And my mom just goes. Oh of course the gay volleyball league. they needed an extra player so I joined ☺️
