My grandmother is Japanese and really likes to give gifts. Often those gifts are Japanese desserts or other food, but sometimes she just slips me cash, folded up inside a tiny, beautiful envelope. But she likes to pretend she's not giving me money, so when possible, she'll hide it somewhere that I will find later.
Today I spent the afternoon with her doing chores and tech support, and she clearly felt this warranted a significant gift in return (no matter that I enjoyed myself). But she forgot to slip something into my pocket or bag before I left, so instead she rushed outside as I was starting my car, making the old-school "roll down the window" gesture. Once I complied, she was forced to acknowledge she was handing me money, but she also tried to minimize the gesture.
The result was that she said, "Thank you, dear! I just wanted you to be able to... to buy yourself a hamburger," and then handed me a darling little envelope that turned out to contain $100. And all I could think was:
Steve, interrupting Eddie while he’s streaming: the weirdest thing happened when I was out with Jonathan. This girl came up to him and called him a homewrecker. How random is that? He’s been with Argyle almost as long as we’ve been together.
Eddie: It was probably because a portion of the internet thing you guys slept together.
Steve: ….I’m married?
Eddie: Not since we’ve been together. Before. When your, uh, your life changed. At the Byers’ house…. while Will was missing.
Steve: Oh.
Steve: Oh!? Why the - what? Nancy was there!
Eddie: That doesn’t really help your case. She’s got big strap-on energy.
Steve:
Steve: I did not have sex with Jonathan Byers!
Eddie: Did you think about it?
Steve, walking away: Shut up!
Eddie: Are you thinking about Nancy with a strap now? … Steve! Steve, are you thinking about it?
if you go on a road trip with gojo, don’t even THINK of giving him the aux, because i just know he’ll put on the most embarrassing of songs + have his window rolled down so everyone can hear him screaming the lyrics - BAR FOR BAR !!!!
