Transcript
Whenever someone compliments my ring I get so awkward and never know what to say. So normally I say something along the lines of, thank you so much, like he did a great job, I love it. And then I just awkwardly like, drive away or walk away. But what I really would be saying if I was being totally honest with myself and other people is, thank you so much, I did a good job. Because that's like, I picked this out. He just follows instructions really, really well. So I'd also say, thank you so much, he listens really well. A well-behaved man.
