Discussing how much to tip our doormen…

Eric’s mom: “I actually checked with Emily Post and it said to stay within your budget.”

Eric: “Wait, what? You went to Emily’s Posts to see how much to tip the doormen?”

Eric’s mom: “No. Emily Post, not Emily’s Posts.”

Eric: “Who’s Emily Post?”

Me: “Ummm the etiquette guru?”

(Silence) 

Me: “Wait– do you not get why my blog is named Emily’s Posts? And the tag line… ‘like Emily Post, but the exact opposite?'”

(Pause) 

Eric: “Ohhhh! No no no, I know.”

He didn’t know.
