Theo:

That’s the whole rule of group chats. What is said in group chat, stays in group chat.

Hudson:

Until you take a screenshot of your chat and then you put it in the other chat hoping that the person that you’re talking shit about doesn’t actually see it. And now I’ve confused myself.

Me:

I hate all of you.

Ford:

You love us. Seriously though, do not add spouses to the family group chat. Or parents. We have a family group chat with the parents, and then a family group chat with just Mom, and then one with just Dad. Hence why I’m very confused why we continue to have more of them. We need to name this one.

Me:

Let’s just call it the Cages.

Flynn:

Yes, because we don’t have anything called the Cages in the Cage family group chat. You’re the CEO of this family, what the hell’s wrong with you?

Hudson:

He’s the president of Cage Enterprises. Not the CEO of the family.

Flynn:

For a man that doesn’t work with the company, you do sound a little testy.

Dorian:

Those sound like fighting words to me.

James:

I have been in a meeting this entire time. Are we seriously just going to have a fifty-message long group chat about the efficacies and rules of group chat? This isn’t Fight Club.

Theo:

All the more reason to actually speak about the group chat, as we’re allowed to talk about it. Like you said, this isn’t Fight Club.

Ford:

I thought we weren’t supposed to talk about fight club.

Hudson:

That movie came out what, fifty years ago at this point?

Flynn:

Let’s not let Hudson do math anymore.

Me:

Seriously. Now that we know we have a new group chat, we can come up with a name later.
