[Being in Mayfield for over a year has given Vince a pretty good idea of what to except when certain days come along, and Mother's Day is one that especially sticks out in his memory. Mostly because of how fun Father's Day was after that, but Vince isn't planning on going through that all over again. Too awkward. Too messy. Too filled with doing

... You really ought to watch your weight with those things.

[numanstan]

Y'know I don't gain weight! I've got a fast metabolism or somethin'.

[is_an_island]

I'll hit you if you try to argue that the lettuce in hamburgers counts as enough vegetables for the day.

What are you doing here, anyway? Lose your way to your house again?

[numanstan]

Please, I don't just eat sweets. I eat vegetables too! [in the form of curry but details, details]

I'm buyin' stuff for Mother's Day!

[is_an_island]

Oh.

I wasn't aware that your mother was here. But that would explain a lot.

[numanstan]

Uh, no. These're bribes so all the girls in town won't use mind control on me.

[I mean obviously]

[is_an_island]

... Nobody that you'd want to bribe would be bribed with half-eaten soggy bread.

[numanstan]

... I've got other stuff.

[is_an_island]

Lint doesn't work, either.

[numanstan]

Flowers do. I've got some of those.

[is_an_island]

Are they actually flowers, or some sort of weed that you pulled out from the sidewalk and wrapped in snot-mangled tissue?

[numanstan]

Are y'still bitter about the rock?

'Cause y'sound bitter.

[is_an_island]

Stonehenge and I are getting along very well, thanks.

But you're altogether very horrid at gift-giving.

[numanstan]

I give great gifts! It's just kinda hard for me here 'cause I don't think bouncy castles've been invented yet.

[is_an_island]

I assure you, if you give a pet rock to a girl, she'll be returning the rock to your head.

Why don't you give them something they would like?

[numanstan]

... Girls like bouncy castles.
