A creator acts out a comedic skit where a young woman (Thyme) and her friend (Cale) are visited at their shop by an older, judgmental family friend. The family friend makes a series of out-of-touch and critical comments, mocking Thyme's focus on trauma and existentialism, unfavorably comparing her to her 'perfect' sister, and prying into her dating life. The skit satirizes the generational clash between modern 'woke' culture and traditional family expectations, culminating in the family friend leaving after delivering a final, condescending piece of advice.

I'd like rank iced matcha, please. Tier? Is that you? I've better seeing you since you were this big. That was a year ago. I'm the exact same height. She is not grown. All grown up and still so grumpy. Oh my god. You worse so cute. How have you been? What have you been up to? I don't no. Parsing through my childhood trauma and reading French existential prose. Tonight is our Quemun night in reading group. Traumas of your youth. Your organic milk was too organic, private school was too private. You're always so funny. You remember when you poured all the milk down the drain? My good. Her mother was so angry. She said, Daimy, what is this behavior? Best so funny. That was a protest against the egregious consumption of dairy in our household. Rita, worst good up being lactose intolerant. It's just a way of life. You're never too young to stand for something. Sometimes you get too old to sit though. Your sister rank no one ever had any of these issues. Have you met her? She's a perfect little girl. Still feeling fine at NYU. Better day she loses a little bit more of her spark to the system, and that's on you guys. It's okay. She r s p p'd to Cam Moon Knight. Really? Yes. She's bringing a boy. He's a bro. You know, your mother and I would say, oh, why can't I maybe be more like oregano? Why can't you be pretty like oregano? Or smart like oregano? I have less mustache like oregano. Chapter five. This is what I was telling you. Chapter five. You are perfect the way you are. Thank you for that. Okay. Well, give me some gub shop. Are you dating anyone? Are you on the apps? Dating apps are toxic. I only date organically. Hinge is full of pesticides. Still haven't answered my question. And I never will. Come on. I just wanna see a picture of the lucky boy. Tier, you should never guess the gender of the mysterious theoretical partner. Are you telling me you're bi because everyone knows you're not bi? You're such a no 30 pages of a journal entry saying that you're not bi. That was a huge violation of my privacy, and I'm still working through it in therapy. You're in therapy for not being bi. It's arguably even harder to be a STRE in Bushwick. Thank you. Wonderful to see you, and I hope next time I see you, you'll be in a better job, you know, both of you. Unlike other Americans, I don't define myself by my work. Or the lack thereof. Beta, you good back at this decade and say, this was the stupidest decade of my entire life. Why was I so stupid? Okay. Bye, Beta. Ugh. Why are family friends like this? Families shouldn't have friends. You remember what happened between the Montagues and the Capulets. Well, it, like, sucked a lot.
