Guilt Trip Goes Full Circle

(This happens about the time that free-running/parkour is really big. We are all male teenagers who attempt to make videos of ourselves free-running. One day, Friend #1 tries to do a flip over a concrete dog statue at Friend #2’s parent’s house. In the process, Friend #1 knocks the statue over and the head snaps off.)

Friend #1: “Oh my gosh, [Friend #2]! I’m so sorry!”

Friend #2: “It’s fine. They’ll never notice.”

(He nonchalantly puts dog’s head back on. Two hours later, while we’re at lunch:)

Friend #2: “Oh s***, guys I can’t take it anymore.”

Us: “What?”

Friend #2: “I gotta tell my mom what happened…”

(Calls his mom.)

Friend #2: “Hey, Mom? Yeah… [Friend #1] has something to tell you.”

(Hands phone to a shocked Friend #1.)

Friend #1: “Uh… hello… uh… hi…”

(He proceeded to tell Friend #2’s mom about the little accident and she said it had already been broken so it wasn’t anything to worry about. Friend #1 was very relieved, and Friend #2 still gets jibes about his contagious guilt.)
