MB 65: It’s The Thought That Counts

Happy birthday. Oh, thanks, you remembered. I was gonna get you an air fryer, but they’re too expensive. And then I realized it’s the thought that counts. You know, the giver is not supposed to be the one to initiate the it’s-the-thought-that-counts excuse. I thought anybody could initiate it. No, you’re supposed to give me a crappy gift, and I’m supposed to say, “It’s the thought that counts” to cushion the crappiness. Well, would you prefer that I get you a crappy gift or that I thought of getting you a great gift? What am I gonna do with your thoughts? Just give me the crappy thing. Well, if you know that I thought about your birthday, what’s the point of buying you a present? You already know that I know. The present shows that you know. But it’s the thought that counts means that if I thought of doing it, that’s basically the same thing as doing it. That is so not what it means. Although I did not get you an air fryer, I did get you this. You did get me something. What is it? It’s a telepathic money counter. Well, how does it work? It’s the thought that counts.
