[yaaaaaay]

And Uncle Eric's. And yours, too.

[hitthebrokenroad]

Hey, girls loved that hair back then.

[yaaaaaay]

[ She pats him comfortingly on the back. ] Sure they did, Uncle Shawn.

[ Speaking of hair... ]

Is that Superintendent Turner?

[hitthebrokenroad]

It is. See? Everyone had hair like that. Except your dad.

[yaaaaaay]

I don't think it's possible for my dad to have hair that looks any way besides the way it looks now.

[hitthebrokenroad]

He tried to straighten it once. [ He expands his hands outward and upsward. ]

[yaaaaaay]

[ And Riley's eyebrows go outward and upward. ]

Really? Is there a picture of that?

[hitthebrokenroad]

Not in there, I'm sure. [ But, thankfully, there is the magic of Shawn's iphone and scans of polaroids from the 90s. He'll pull it up right now. ]

[yaaaaaay]

[ Riley is silent for... probably longer than is normal. ]

I have concerns.

[hitthebrokenroad]

You do? Why?

[yaaaaaay]

You're supposed to be my dad's best friend.

[hitthebrokenroad]

I am his best friend. You think he doesn't have any questionably...amazing pictures of me?

[yaaaaaay]

If you're his best friend, why'd you let him ...do that to his hair??

[hitthebrokenroad]

He felt bad about it. Anyway, if I hadn't let him do that, he wouldn't have been helping Topanga with some project or anther and your mother wouldn't have kissed him for the first time.

[yaaaaaay]

Handcuffed by the lockers.

[ She's heard the story many times. ]

[hitthebrokenroad]

Right!

[yaaaaaay]

What about you, Uncle Shawn? What was your first kiss like?

[hitthebrokenroad]

Me? Oh, you don't want to hear about that.

[yaaaaaay]

I think I do!

[hitthebrokenroad]

I'll tell you who it wasn't. It was not Jennifer Bassett.

[yaaaaaay]

You mean Farkle's mom?

[hitthebrokenroad]

...right. Her.

[yaaaaaay]

So who was it?

Was it Angela?

[hitthebrokenroad]

It was not Angela. It was actually Hilary. Kind of weird and twisty. Liked throwing candy at people in the movies.

[yaaaaaay]

Like when you get a big bucket of popcorn and you both reach inside at the same time and your hands meet?

[hitthebrokenroad]

N...no, like taking candy and winging it at people's heads. I don't know if anyone outside of maybe your dad has ever actually had the popcorn thing happen to them.
