Transcript

Who wants ice cream? Auntie, my dad says we'll get in trouble if we have ice cream before our dinner. You mean my brother? Yes, he'll be in trouble. So do you want one scoop or two? Two. Auntie, yes. Sweetheart. Can we go to your house? Hell no. Why not? See, I come here, so your grimy little hands don't get all over my furniture. Okay? So why don't we go play with those loud toys I brought? Oh, new toy. How's basketball going? I hate basketball. And you know what? I said that to your dad, but I don't have kids, so what do I know? What I know is you suck at basketball and you don't have a future in it. He needs to be used for something useful like space camp. Oh, I like space camp. Auntie, do you have any kids? Fuck no. So I don't have to have kids if I don't want to? No, you don't have to have kids if you don't want to. Daddy says when I grow up, I can have my own family and that's why we don't take pregnancy advice from people who can't get pregnant. Okay, okay. Here's a new piece. Auntie is overstimulated. Auntie, can you stay longer? Oh god, no. Oh why not? I'm not going to be around your little kids for the next year. Okay? This was a very great reminder why I don't have kids and I don't want them. I'm very overstimulated. So I'm going to go home and sit in complete total silence for the next three days, all right? Bye kids. Bye.
