Male Researchers

Uncle Patrick messaged me to say that he had a couple of t-shirts to send back to the States with Josie (who is in Austria visiting him for a while). They're too small for him, but he figured my boys could grow into them—they say "Male Researcher" on the back.

"Hey, I could wear a shirt like that," Rachel mused. "Not because I'm a male researcher, but because I'm researching males."

I told her that she could wear it while presenting Uncle Patrick's slides: "Non-Invasive Dating Techniques" from a male researcher.

I also sent her little quip along in the family group chat. Uncle Allen was particularly taken aback by her remark and told my sister to tell me to tell Rachel that that remark was a little racy for Rachel to be saying and that she's far too young to be researching males. 

Rachel retorted that it was all in the name of science.

Uncle Allen was rendered speechless (to make him feel better, although Rachel is at a dance right now, she never actually been on a date—her dating pool is rather shallow out here).

Uncle Patrick wondered whether the freshmen males at BYU would survive her sarcastic wit. 

Time will tell.
