Claire's Brother

And to me, it's a hilariously inadequate performance.

At these kinds of parties,

I feel like I'm going to a movie with my favorite comedic actor, but it's a drama and their performance is bad and boring.

And so it's like she is performing her idea of what a mom should be and what a woman in her 30s should be.

And it's like, it's just very boring.

Because the thing about it is that she doesn't have that many things to talk about.

She has a couple of things to talk about endlessly, but those are not appropriate topics usually.

So it's like, if I meet someone who's a civil engineer designing bridges, I like pretend to care about bridges for 20 minutes and like try to learn as much as I can about like bridges.

And then her eyes just blaze over.

Not because she's mean, but because something in her brain does not fire properly.

And she just can't care.

So she'll be like, oh, how is that?

And they'll be like, it's pretty good.

And she'll be like, okay, do you work in office?

She really hates working in office because she's just always bullied when she's in office.

Her main way of relating to other people's jobs is like, do you have to be in an office?

So they're like, yep, I have to be in office.

And she's like, oh, sorry about that.

When I host house parties, which are well-attended, by the way, I talk about her all the time, but, like, all just the freak flag stuff, like, all the, like, zany stuff that she does.

And, like, the people who are my friends who, like, don't know her are all like, this sounds like the coolest, funniest person ever.
