Really appropriate

Woman and Man eating at a picnic table this afternoon :

W: He's our son. I'M the one making him.

M: mumbles something about putting coins in a soda machine.

W:  That's different! (makes some kind of comparison to putting trash in a trash can.)

M: JR is gonna be his name anyway.

W: sarcastically asks him something about the use of the term "junior."

It sounded stressful.
