"Formal is two days from now, Travis! Aren't you excited?"
"Sure."
"Oh, that's no way to get pumped. Are you excited?"
"Sure!"
"That's the spirit!"
"Buying anything today?"
"A flower for you. What kinda would you prefer?"
"A crown."
"What?"
"Instead of a corsage, we could wear flower crowns!"
"Travis, I'm not wearing a flower crown."
"Then you could wear whatever floral decal you want and I could be the one to get the flower crown."
"Whatever makes you happy."
"Sweet!"
