Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Where they will be playing my SO`s first orchestral composition!

Yeah, that's awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I was starting to regret taking this freelance work, until I spent an hour working and the client called me a genius. And now I'm done.

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

CJ's name is what we picked out when we didn't know if Kelly would be a boy or a girl. We never did come up with a second girl name, so he was lucky he was a boy. I can't picture naming him anything else, he is very much my CJ.

Had I been a boy, I would have been Reza. Not a name that flips between Farsi and English as easily as Susan.

I don't wanna do any more work today. I want the weekend to start NOW.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Emma was the first girl's name we agreed on so we stopped looking.

Then, at 38 weeks and after all of my showers, I changed my mind. I have a lot of embroidered stuff that says "Emma".

And now, I look at her, and she is so not an Emma. She is every inch of her Emeline.

Oh, on the dating thing. I'm not expecting to find someone who has the exact same interests/opinions as I do. Just the guy in question was so dismissive regarding Buffy and his comments about baseball seemed condescending to me.

I mean, baseball is my professional sport of choice, but if a prospective date was a big hockey fan, I'd be interested in having him share his passion for the sport with me.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I know THREE Rezas. It's the John of Farsi, isn't it?

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

I know a couple Rezas myself too.

I just wrinkled my nose at another guy in order to encourage better service. Well, at least I'm not batting eyelashes or modulating my voice.

OMG, from eavesdropping, there's a Jayne hat in the next row over. Except he totally didn't get my "Is that a cunning hat?" reference. Piker. Have I watched Firefly, he asks. Bah. Don't even.

Okay, so I will happily diss you for not being nerdy enough. And me? Still single. Just imagine.

At least in that generation -- every Persian guy I know (practically) is named Reza, too.
