A conversation between a mother and a teenage son.

“Okay. Are we ready to go? Wait a minute. What are those?” – Mother (pointing to Old Boy’s face)

“My new sunglasses. What do you think? Pretty cool, huh?” – Old Boy

“Um…no. Not really.” – Mother

“What do you mean? These glasses are fantastic. How can you say they aren’t great?” – Old Boy

“Because they aren’t. If your mother won’t be honest with you, who will? They look like cartoon character glasses.” – Mother

“You have to try them on.” – Old Boy

“No.” – Mother

“Come on, Mom. They’ll make you look super cool. I promise.” – Old Boy

Mother looks at sunglasses. Mother looks at son. Mother takes a deep breath and puts sunglasses on.

“You look great. Go look in the mirror and check yourself out. Bet you’ll want to get a pair too.” – Old Boy

“Highly doubtful.” – Mother
