    A conversation I had over the weekend accurately sums up every single conversation with this family member on my wife's side.

    I don't even remember how we got on the topic, but she brought up our sons name. Mason.

    Her: Yeah, you guys must really like the whole 'normal blue collar worker' name thing huh? Mason, like masonry.
    Me: *my mind goes blank for a moment trying to contemplate the absurdity of what I just heard*
    Me: *after my brain gathers itself* You must as well. You literally gave both of your children the middle name of "Painter". Like, house painter... right?
    Her: ...

    After I said that I have never in my life witnessed someone blink so hard, for so long, and so fast, ever.
