The Meeting

Staff: Hey, there’s some Taiwanese politicians at this charity event. Pretty cool, huh?

Husband: (Nervous) Oh… yeah… cool… (I’M SO NERVOUS!!!)

(They’re not even being introduced. The Taiwanese politicians are making speeches. Husband just sits in the audience of the event, listening to these types of speeches)…

Husband’s inner dialogue:

Hmm… the last name… it’s not hers… it’s not her mother’s… but… why does this politician’s face… look… kinda like hers? They’re kind of like her… a variant… They LOOK LIKE HER… I can SEE A RESEMBLANCE. There is some sort of SHARED DNA HERE… THEY LOOK LIKE HER…

Oh wow, the speech — they’re so nice! So friendly! — It’s like their family has a template for niceness?! THIS MUST BE HER RELATIVE.

There’s no way it’s not. There’s such a resemblance… and the vibe… THE VIBE — IS LIKE HER.

The LAUGHTER is like HERS.

There’s so much resemblance, it’s uncanny. The last names don’t match… but they could be a relative, on the father or mother’s side, via another female relative connection? So the last names don’t match her father’s or her mother’s…?

IT’S DEFINITELY HER RELATIVE. I FEEL IT.

Fan Cams: Why is Common Name staring at that Taiwanese politician like he’s IN LOVE?! (LOLOLOL)

(Trending meme of the facial expression begins…)

(Finally, he gets to meet the politician for a quick chat — nothing too serious, it’s a Charity event)…

Husband: Do you have any relatives in Australia? My girlfriend is in Australia, she lives on the Gold Coast.

Politician: Yes. She’s my cousin. (Smiles just like her!)
