You Know What Science Leads to
Don’t you hate it when your parents assume everyone who’s the opposite gender as you is your boyfriend or girlfriend? Any time you bring a friend over, they always give these weird stares and smiles that make you want to pack your things and move to Tibet to ling among the goats.
That’s what happened in this story. The OP was just visiting his friend’s house to get their science on (that’s not a euphemism). Wanting to be intimidating, the dad hands over a shotgun to the OP and tells him to hold it real quick. That’s probably the last thing you want—your enemy holding onto your weapon.
