[[A mother accosts a couple who is doing something else.]]
Mother: We're here with my son! He's learning to skate and needed a certain type of kneepad. It's only sold in five stores in this part of the state and the one here was the only one that carried it in extra-small!
Mother: We found the pads but by then it was so late in the day that we decided to stay in a hotel instead of driving back home. At first Taylor didn't want to stay but I said "You can skate more tomorrow" and he said "Hotel please!"
Man: Do not care
Man: Who are you
Mother: He takes so much after his father, you know, he's always--
Man: GENETIC INHERITANCE! A tricky subject! The transmission disequillibrium test is one way to measure the over-transmission of an allele from heterozygous parents to affected offspring!
Man: DO YOU KNOW YOUR SON'S HAPLOTYPE?
Woman: I will never make fun of you for memorizing Wikipedia again.
Man: I can bore ANYBODY.

The computers tell me it was 20 years ago, June 9, 2006, that I arrived in New York for my first-ever comic convention as an exhibitor, MoCCA.
It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.
I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
