The Boy: Yes?
Grumples: You have a beautiful mouth.
The Boy: Ah, thanks, honey.
Grumples: I was in a meeting the other day staring at every one's mouth in an attempt to look like I was understanding the highly technical stuff they were discussing, and I realized that not a single person in there had a pretty mouth. They either had completely average, nondescript mouths, or they had these sad thin lines for lips.
The Boy: ... (big goofy grin on face)
Grumples: Your lips are wonderful. I love your lips. You have the best mouth ever.
The Boy: Thanks, sweetie!
(Few moments of comfortable silence passes.)
Grumples: Okay, um, wait, I need to retract that. Ian McCulloch actually wins for best mouth. I'm sorry, but I have to be honest about that.
The Boy: He does have a very nice mouth.
Grumples: Is it okay if you come in second?
The Boy: Yes, that's fine.
