CMD Jr.: Hey dad, I need some new black dress shoes.
CMD: *removes pipe and pats CMD Jr. on the head* Absolutely, sport. A nice pair of black dress shoes is a staple of any young gentleman's wardrobe. We will go to Von Maur directly. They have a fine collection of quality footwear.
*walk into Von Maur's men's shoes department*
CMD: Just browse around and see what you like.
CMD Jr.: Oh, I like these.
CMD: Ah, Ecco. Solid brand. Very comfortable. I like those a lot.
*flips shoe over to view price*
CMD: MOTHER#$%@ER!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! WTF?!?!?!?!
CMD Jr.: Should we ask the man for my size?
CMD: ARE YOU $%&#ING HIGH??? Let's go over here to the clearance section. How about these?

CMD Jr.: They feel too small.
CMD: Don't sass me. They'll stretch out over time.
CMD Jr.:
CMD: You're welcome.
