It'll save him a rightfully earned lecture on how a grown man doesn't know how to boil corn.

Takes one to be spawned by one.

This sums up Christmas morning for at least 30 people.

Almost correctly. It's the "Are you f**king kidding me" face and not the "I'm SERIOUS and I MEAN it" face. Still, close enough. 8/10.

I guess her thought-out-plan is blackmailing her mother.

Money quote from the main article: "Children and adults are sexual beings; we've known this for at least 100 years." Gee, I don't know HOW we managed the whole baby-making business before then!

Anyway, P911, PIR, GYPO and GNOC.

I'm l33ting so hard right now.

That sh*t cray, mom.

Judging by the picture, whenever his mom calls he's seized with panic and is shown desperately trying to remember whether he forgot her birthday (again).

When his dad calls, he puts on his Serious Man-Face and gets ready to field Serious Questions about his future and whether he's started saving up for a house yet.

You might be confused by the "Meeple" and "Mupple" exchange at the beginning, but a quick trip to Urban Dictionary clears things up.

Meeple:
A generic term for little wooden figures used in german board gaming.

Mupple: A mixed-race heterosexual couple, of which one partner, generally the male, is of Caucasian appearance and the other partner, generally the female, is of South-East Asian appearance.

That makes sense! So the son/daughter was pontificating to "Dad" about the apparent lack of control any of us has over our lives, like pawns on a chessboard or meeples in a German board game, and "Dad" responded that by pairing ourselves into loving and supportive but unconventional relationships (such as, just for example, a mupple), we can often soothe the pang of life's persistent existential uncertainty. This segues perfectly into the son/daughter discussing his/her preferences when finding suitable partners.
