Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was so stunned the first time I went by Phillips as a kid and saw all the kids there were dressed like bums. I was like, "I thought they were rich!" My mother was like, yeah, that's how rich kids dress.

Jesse, your old money is showing. I'm assuming Andover, not Exeter.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm an old money snob, even if I don't have any.

This is so me it's not even funny.

(You hear that, universe? Our car has 200K+ on it because we are that awesome!)

Please. Of course.

Actually, it's just my Massachusetts upbringing -- My mother worked in Andover for most of my childhood, so I didn't know there was another PA for a long time. I have mostly only heard of the prep schools on that list via proximity -- I went to summer camp in Groton, etc.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And, in my family, tacky was one of the worst things you could say about someone (trashy was worse, but that had to be earned).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How do the old money handle the new tech? Because that could be a deal-breaker for me.

Can you people either a) remind me to job-hunt this evening or b) find me a job this evening? I have just over a month to go.

I think as long as you have a cave big enough to fit it all into, you're good.

I'd say as long as the widescreen TV is not in the living room, you're okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Where do old money people watch their TVs? The study?
