Foot in Mouth Syndrome
I am friends with two brothers, Jon and Bryon. Jon lives in Oxnard, California with his wife Pilar while Bryon lives in Delray Beach, Florida with his big screen TV. I haven’t seen Bryon in about four years, with the following being our first conversation since then:
Bryon: So, ya, tomorrow is better for brunch.
Jaime: Great. So, looking forward to seeing your house! I hope you don’t have two little dogs like your brother. Ha ha, I always thought it was funny that such a buff guy had two tiny little dogs.
Bryon: Actually, I do.
Jaime: Hahaha.Wouldn’t that be great! You with two little sausage dogs or something. Hahahahaha. You’re joking right?
Bryon: No, I’m not.
Jaime: I mean, not like Jon. He has two Chihuahuas. They could fit in a teacup together with room for sugar.
Bryon: They’re miniature Yorkies.
Jaime: Oh, so cute! I love little dogs!
Bryon: (long pause) I’ll see you tomorrow.
