A General Malaise

This is a link to an absolutely hilarious clip of Sean Cullen and his James Bond bit. Watch to the very end, through the Irish Villain's plan to take over the world. Then you'll understand why this is so funny to me and Austin and why it applies to this particular moment in our life.

 Austin & I went to Dairy Queen. Austin got a chocolate Moo-latte. I got a pineapple mango smoothie. On top of Austin's Moo-latte was a shot of whipped cream with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. I mentioned how good it looked and Austin offered to let me have some. So I swiped my finger through the whipped cream and chocolate, careful not to get any Moo-latte. I stuck it in my mouth.

Me: Not as good as I thought. It's that cheap chocolate syrup, not the good chocolate fudge stuff.

Austin commiserated for a moment, but the pineapple mango was terrific, so I was soon recovered. Austin loves mango, so I let him try my smoothie and he loved it. Then he starts in on his Moo-latte and it's quiet for a bit as we're driving home.

Me: How is it?

Austin: Meh. The chocolate syrup is grainy and cheap.

Me: I'm sorry.

Austin: They put it all the way through, so it's contaminating every sip. If I had known, I'd have gotten caramel. Next time, I'm getting a pineapple mango smoothie. Can I have more of yours?

So I pass it over to him.

Me: I'm sorry you're disappointed.

Austin: It's OK. It's just that the chocolate is cheap. It's not like the chocolate we normally have.

Me, laughing, affecting Irish accent: Oh, we have arrived. That's some poor quality chocolate.

Austin, laughing too, also in an Irish accent: Yes, and a general malaise has fallen over the car.
