Straight Faced Quote by Honor Raconteur
““I’m incredibly straight faced,” I told her mock-seriously. That made her laugh. “Yes, you’re amazingly stoic and reserved,” she griped, giving an overly exaggerated sigh. I thought about that. “I was traumatized by broccoli as a child, that’s what did it.””
