The holidays are the time of year when your parents always want to visit, because the summer in New York is magical. Here are all the things they’ll probably say to you when they come:
1. The traffic was hell on our way here.
What did you expect?
2. Oh, what a cute apartment!
Wait for it…

Yeah that’s one way of putting it
5. Did you get a pet mouse?
