Dinner at home

Mom: So I asked her, do you have any chest pain? no, any mobility problems, no, no i go for a walk every day – she has no symptoms! What would you do?
JT: My friend and I operated on someone on the computer today.
Dad: Admit her! I’m worried about that (insert long word).
Mom: Well, so am I! Should I refer her to Peter?
JT: It was really cool, except there was a lot of blood.
Dad: That reminds me, I have an interesting story about Mr X, you know, the guy with (long word)….

Mom: Do you think maybe he had (long word)?
JT: If you tilted the table the right way you could see all his insides.

Dad: A (long word)?

Mom: You didn’t like the clam spaghetti, sweetie?
JT: Nah, I feel like ice cream.

It is different when there are other people over. Then the topics become mostly politics and old British comedies.
