Yes. This is also where I'm like, you need a wing band, right? If you're going into this situation where you have to interact with your crush, you need a friend. Yeah. To just like elbow you as hard as they can in the ribs when you start saying things like, it's a beautiful ham bag. Yeah. Tessa's like, I want to die, right? Like she's with you. She's like, this is terrible. This is awful.

I'm now having an extended conversation about a ham bag with this girl I have always thought is cute who has a septum ring. Huge. She's like, that makes this worse somehow. Yes. Erica's like, okay, great. I'm so glad you found the handbag. Like, is there anything else I can get you? Just ask Erica a single question about her life. Just one. Just one. That would be a great idea.

Tessa looks frantically around and she's like, she sees a bunch of teapots and she's like, yeah, I need a individual teapot. No. She does not need this. But once she said it, Erica leads her over there. There go her $40 and then some. Ding, ding, ding. Erica picks one up and puts it in Tessa's hands. And Tessa's like, are we touching hands? We're touching hands.

And Tessa's like, oh, my God, it's so cute because it's like an individual teapot. It's little. And Erica is like, yeah, very. But she's looking at Tessa. Is this flirting? Like not enough information to say so far, but it's not discouragement. Tessa's like, huh? She's like, I'll take it because she's like, I want. Yes, I'll take this. It is $40. No, don't keep giving up your power.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

This is such good advice, but it's also really good advice that comes from being in your 20s. Like being 19, being still in college, you think that the way to get someone to love you is to become the version of a person that they want.

Exactly. And it's like, actually, that's not what people want. Like, no, just be who you are. But she cannot. She's like, whatever. I'm spending the $40 that I got in my dad's money on this weird little teapot.

She goes to the counter and Erica's like, I'm kind of like surprised that you're getting a ham bag. Yes, make fun of the handbag. Just make fun of the handbag. And Tessa's like, oh, my dad wants me to get it for my mom. Like, I don't know. He's like on one. Like, I'm just here on a mission. And Eric is like, oh, that that makes perfect sense to me.

Actually, you're not the first one in here this week doing that. And Eric is like, is the teapot also for your mom? And Tessa's like, oh, no, no. The teapot is for me, actually. How are you feeling about this interaction?

Okay. It could be worse, I guess. Tessa pays with her cash and Erica's like, it was so good to see you. And Tessa's like, it's good to see you too. And Erica's like, Merry Christmas. Enjoy your handbag. And Tessa's like, you too.
