literally just opened my family group chat and found my mom arguing about which video game she should play after hearing about that terminally ill fan getting to play GTA six early. it escalated so quickly, I almost left the chat. she suggested trying Call of Duty, then my uncle sent a GIF of a llama dancing and it turned into a debate on who should take the llama for a walk first.
