I’m like, ‘What the heck, pilgrim, you stepped on my toe.’ And then he’s like, ‘Toe? What toe? I thought that was a seed pod from the tree.’ And then we’re like, ‘No pilgrim, that was a toe!’ And then they’re like, ‘Well, sorry there, fellas, it was an honest mistake.’ And then some rando is all, ‘Come on folks, can’t we just get along?’ And we’re like, ‘Puh-leeze, Karen. Talk to the hand.’
I’m like: “So, like OMG! Like which one of these character actors in Peep’s docusaga do you like emotionally self-identify as?” (In my thickest 80’s Valspeak tone possible).
