World Cup
A few days after her wedding, we met up for dinner.
“Hey guys, oh I must tell you about my wedding night.” The newlywed was glowing with joy.
“No! Ewww!”
“No no, really! You have no idea lor. We slept and slept, and then woke up only to watch soccer.”
“…”
I think she was trying to induce sympathy from the rest of us. But she clearly came to the wrong crowd.
“Soccer? Is that what young people call it these days?” /cue much winking and nudging. We’re almost thirty, but still juvenile like teenagers.
“Really! I’m not joking. It was the most important day of my life, and we ended up watching soccer. Mexico versus Argentina!”
“So, tell us,” someone said. “Who was ‘Mexico’ and who was ‘Argentina’?”
“And who won?” Someone else asked.
Then the clincher, “Oh c’mon, in this case, everyone’s a winner!”
