When I was growing up, my father had a briefcase with a combination lock whose combination was 618, which I later discovered was his wedding anniversary. And now, this:

D: TiVo is asking me for a password.

M: Yeah, I was reading in the TiVo forums that you should set a parental controls password so no one else sets it accidentally.

D: So what’s the password?

M: 0517.

D: What’s 0517?

M: It’ll be our wedding anniversary.

Beat.
