Earlier tonight Sam was sitting nearby when Geralyn decided to be sly and tell me about some Christmas presents her parents were going to get for their granddaughter.
“They had a great Christmas present for Sammy at the grocery store.”
“What’s that?”
“They had C-A-R-S.”
“SEX CAULDRON!?”
“What?”
“It’s a Simpsons reference, sorry. They had what?”
“I said, C-A-R-S.”
“I… don’t understand.”
“Jamie. I just told you: C-A-R-S.”
“Like, food?”
“NO. Jamie, listen to me. C-A-R-S. C-A-R-S!
“I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
“Would you listen to me? C-A-R-S!”
“Oh my god! And now you’re just saying it VERY LOUDLY and with a very red face! And over and over again!”
“Why is this so hard for you to understand? C-A-R-S!!”
“The movie? On DVD?”
“NO!”
“I don’t understand! Is this a crazy pregnancy thing? You mean they had toys from the Cars movie?”
“Great, thanks! Now she knows what we’re talking about.”
“Someone needed to!”
