Friend 1: I can’t go on The Haunted Mansion.

Friend 2: Why not?

Friend 1: Because I’m a GIRL.

Friend 1: So then my dad was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He had to quit his job because the radiation made him too sick to drive. So now he’s bedridden and my mother-in-law is taking care of him. And his sister, my aunt who lives in Vancouver, she broke her neck in a car accident. She’s in a coma. She doesn’t have any family there I don’t think.

(Long pause)

Friend 2: So are you gonna get the annual pass?

Friend 1: Oh totally.
