"But it has to be perfect."
"Seth…"
"Ryan, I've never given an imperfect gift before. I can't start now."
"Seth, we've been at the mall for two hours," Ryan whined.
"Please! Be glad you didn't come with the Kirsten. That'd be a day and a half shopping excursion."
"You are your mother's son," Ryan muttered. Although, that was probably the only time anyone had ever said that about Seth.
"I just don't know…" Seth mumbled, more to himself than Ryan. He held up two objects in his hands, weighing the gifts.
"Either one is fine," Ryan stated quickly.
"Look, we all know you hate people. But couldn't you put up with them for our one and only baby sister."
"Our baby sister? Who is one? Who won't care which color pajamas you get her? Who won't care if it's polar bears or reindeer pattern? Who is going to spit up on it within two seconds of wearing it?"
"Dude…" Seth reached toward the counter, grabbed something, and then handed it to Ryan. "Suck it up."
Ryan looked down at what was in his hand. It was a stress ball shaped like a baby bottle. On it was the text, "Suck it up."
"Cute," he muttered, sarcastically before squeezing it as hard as he could.
