The Mother Quote #41

Quote from The Mother in Vesuvius

[the year 2024:]
Ted: So I've told you all my stories.
The Mother: I'm afraid so. But luckily, I have plenty of stories that you don't know yet. Like where my college roommates and I went to a male strip club...
Ted: And your friend Dongnose got smacked on the nose with a dong? I know that one.
The Mother: Okay. What about the story that explains how...?
Ted: Dongnose got her nickname and that it had nothing to do with the dong-smacking incident? Heard it, loved it, called it the greatest coincidence of the 21st century.
The Mother: Wow. You know every one of my stories.
Ted: And you know every one of mine. I guess it's official. We're an old married couple.
The Mother: Nice.
Ted: We did it.
