First she discusses about how they're at the Union ordering some coffee. The mother wants to take a picture of her and her father, but the father insists on taking the picture because of the mother's terrible picture taking abilities. Then they were both holding up lines so mother insisted on taking pictures of all the other graduates and their parents, and also getting all their addresses to mail it to them all. Then the father felt even more guilty about what his wife was doing so he went and bought doughnuts for everyone in line. Then to top it all off the mother was so concerned with mess left by all doughnuts that were eaten she went to the back in the kitchen and grabbed a broom to start sweeping up all of the crumbs. Then so Guisewite was getting really fed up with all of it. Then she begins to discuss about how she really doesn't have many friends, and how them you can count on some you cant.
