I couldn’t hear Diane’s voice through the phone, but Tyler frowned.
“Because I’m your son!”
Another pause.
“You’re actually going to wear it?!”
He looked horrified.
“Because I’m your son!”

You see, Lauren owns a small printing business. She makes shirts, mugs, and personalized gifts.
She’s always had a strange sense of humor.
Once, she’d printed a mug for her ex-boyfriend that said, “World’s Second-Best Boyfriend.”
When he asked who was first, she replied, “My next one.”
Their relationship ended shortly afterward.
She’s always had a strange sense of humor.
When I spoke to her the night before, Lauren said, “Tell me exactly what Tyler called you.”
“A buzzkill.”
“Perfect.”
Ten minutes later, she sent me a design.
I stared at my phone.
Then, I burst out laughing!
She sent me a design.
The design showed a cartoon birthday cake wearing sunglasses.
Above it were the words:
“APPARENTLY, I’M A BUZZKILL.”
