Don’t Worry About It For The Rest Of Your Days

(My aunt and uncle don’t have kids, so they’ve been like second parents to me and my sister. I’m visiting the zoo with them today, and we’re looking at the meerkats. A Romanian family is nearby, the kids talking loudly and excitedly about the animals.)

Aunt: “Well, it looks like we know what the Romanian word for ‘meerkat’ is: ‘Timon!'”

(I stare at her for a moment, and then burst out laughing.)

Aunt: “What?”

Me: “You can tell [Sister] and I are grown up. You haven’t watched The Lion King in a while!”
