At Grinch trivia
You’re a bad girl, Carly B
You really mess me up
You’re a dangerous corrupting force
That twists me up in knots, Carly B
But also drag me out of rutsYou’re an odd one, Michelle Reid
Even though you are my twin
You are almost everything I am
And also what I wish I’d been, Michelle Reid
Please don’t kick me in the shinI’m out of lyrics, Matty Gats
I’ve run out of clever rhymes
Uh, the chainsaw sharpner’s on the way
So tell me if it’s dull, Matty Gats
Something something that rhymes with rhymes
Sorry I didn’t put as much effort into you’re verse as for the girls, but to be fair, you didn’t show me YOUR boobs
Carly I didn’t
Michelle Or me
Can I get two bottles of wine here?
Hey, this is on you two. You try to pull me out of my shell, and this is what you get. 🤷

At Christmas
You’re my sister, Lili dear
Or at least, that’s what I’m told
I always thought that you were switched at birth
I was never really sold
Lili dear
But I still love you now that you’re old 😀

This would have made sense to the people there at the time, it was a reference to stuff from a week earlier. This scenario didn’t actually play out. Despite feeling like I’ve made a lot of progress, the crippling social-anxiety-disorder is actually as bad as ever, so I chickened out.
Ironically, the scenario turned out to be prescient. I did joke around at trivia, and Carly got upset and ran away. It wasn’t until the next day that told me about her childhood. The ribbing wouldn’t have even made sense if I’d known about her childhood,so I obviously wouldn’t have made the jokes. I would probably have been better off singing the parodies.
