Leaning Into Stupid So Hard You Fall Over
I receive a 3D puzzle as a present.
Me: “Mom, I think I’m doing this wrong.”
Mom: “What’s the matter?”
Me: “I finished putting it together. I’ve been trying to make the tower stand straight, but it won’t. I know I have the pieces right. I think it’s defective.”
Mom: “Let me see it.”
She sets it on the table. It’s crooked but stable.
Mom: “Looks all right to me.”
Me: “But it’s crooked!”
Mom: *Pause* “Honey, what’s this tower called?”
Me: “The Tower of Pisa?”
Mom: “What does the box say?”
Me: “Um…” *Embarrassed* “The Leaning Tower of Pisa. Thanks, Mom!” *Runs away*
