Bubbles Of Masculinity Are Easily Popped
(The items I make are appropriate for everyone, but I give descriptive names for all my one-of-a-kind pieces. A guy in his twenties comes into my shop.)
Guy: “These are cool! What’s that on the tag?”
Me: “That’s the item’s name.”
Guy: “Oh, cool! Yeah, I like this.”
(He browses for a minute before reading a tag, then turns to me, bright red.)
Guy: “That’s a girly name! That’s totally girly! D***, you tricked me! I didn’t know they were girly names!”
(As he flees the shop, my partner calls out:)
Partner: “Wait! We also have bubble wrap for your fragile masculinity!”
