[John:] Sugar spirals.

[John:] I have absolutely no idea.

[Me:] The things! The...sweet sugar buns!

[Me:] CINNAMON ROLLS!!!! Thank you!  I got the mad cow. Jesus christ. Datum point. Sagittal crest. Ramapithecus Sivapithecus. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. 

[John:] I don't--

[Me:]  Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Phenylpropanolamine. Flux Capacitor. Every word of dialog from The Goonies. All of these things I can remember, but can I remember what a fucking cinnamon roll is? Sweet circles?? Feet shirts? Eye piece? Tiny hand tvs? Bathroom chair?? What the fuck is wrong with me??

[John:] You have so many big words in your head, there's no room for the small, ordinary words.

[Me:] You're a nice guy. Thank you.

[John:] I'm a manchild.

[Me:] Yes, but you're a nice manchild.
