Ickey: If I get an Audi then I will get the chicks.
Michelle: Oh boy.
Michelle: My son is going to visit me today.
Beanpole: Yikes. What should we do to celebrate Mother’s Day? Michelle doesn’t know that Sunny isn’t coming over.
Ickey: We can get her a cake?
Beanpole: That’s a great idea Ickey.

I think Michelle had a good Mother’s Day this year. I hope you guys had a good Mother’s Day too.
Ickey: Oh No. Mother’s Day is tomorrow. What should I get Michelle?
My wife and I can be socially awkward at times. I remember one particular incident when we took Michelle to see her veterinarian. We choose this particular veterinarian because he offered discount vaccines but he always tries to up-sell us additional tests and exams. So we always have to say no to the extras.
The medical exam went a little like this:
Vet: Everything looks great with Michelle, except there might be something concerning about her eyes. She is squinting a lot. We would like to run some additional tests for her eyes.
Beanpole: Oh, she’s okay. She’s Asian, and that’s just how her eyes are. She thinks it’s rude to look people directly in the eyes, so she squints at them.
:::awkward silence:::
We paid for the vaccine and went home. I don’t think we ever went back.
