"Randy, we are not going to have a marijuana leaf as our family crest!" shouted Sharon Marsh.
Randy Marsh, of course, had to expect a reaction like this from his faithful wife (even if he did just prepare a nice dinner for her, as if to "butter her up" or something). After all, even though they were now under the rule of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza-who had decreed that marijuana be as legal as alcohol or salt-the herb still held certain connotations.
"Sharon, there's nothing wrong with marijuana. It's legal, and it's awesome," said Randy.
"I do not want our family to be associated with marijuana!" insisted Sharon.
"Sharon, do you have any better ideas, then?" asked Randy.
"Sure! we could make it a marsh, or make it a cat or something!" said Sharon.
"Okay, okay, I see where you're coming from," said Randy, "You think a marsh would be a good idea 'cause our name is 'Marsh', and you think we should have a cat because it's a fun thing, and cats are cool."
"Yes!" said Sharon, "See? We don't need to make our family crest a marijuana leaf!"
"Now Sharon, sweetie, how exactly would you draw a 'marsh' on a banner?" asked Randy.
"Well, it's pretty simple, isn't it? Just have a dark green background with some blue spots on it, and have little waves in the blue spots to show that it's water."
Randy then walked over to a table nearby. took a paintbrush into his mouth, and painted the banner that Sharon described. "There, is that what you meant?" asked Randy, "Is that okay with you?"
"Yes, I think the banner looks great," said Sharon.
"Okay." said Randy. He pointed a fan at the painting to dry it. He took the painting and trotted into the living room.
"Where are you taking it?" said Sharon.
"I'm gonna show our family crest to the kids, of course!" said Randy.
"Oh, okay, I'll go call them down." said Sharon.
Sharon walked downstairs with their kids, Stan and Shelly. Randy was already waiting in the living room with his dad, Marvin.
As they all sat on the couch, Randy said, "Family announcement!" Then, he went into the next room, and pulled out the "Marsh" painting. He said, "Everyone, behold! The new banner of House Marsh!"
"That's it?" said Stan.
"That looks totally lame!" said Shelly.
"Well, at least it's not a marijuana leaf!" said Sharon.
"You mean we could've had a marijuana leaf banner, but instead we got this lame crap?" said Marvin.
"Look, I just think it'd be too embarrassing to have a marijuana leaf on our family crest, okay?" said Sharon.
"Embarrassing? Anything is better than that!" said Shelly.
"What's that even supposed to be?" asked Stan.
"A marsh! It's supposed to be a marsh! Because we're House Marsh, okay?" said Sharon, defending her modest idea.
"So, whad'ya guys think, a green marijuana leaf on a purple background?" asked Randy.
"I can't believe this," said Sharon as she facehoofed, "We're going to be the laughing stock of everyone in Equesteros!"
"I think it should be a yellow background!" said Stan.
"Ooh, and why's that?" asked Randy.
"Because, in A Song of Ice and Fire, there's a family called "House Marsh", and they have green frogs on a yellow background. Plus, I think yellow would let the green show up better than purple," said Stan.
"Ooh, nice. Game of Thrones and all that. Okay, Stan's right. A green marijuana leaf on a yellow background! Sound good to you guys?" said Randy.
"Sure, I'm cool with it," said Shelly.
"Sounds good to me," said Marvin.
"Ugghh, seriously?" groaned Sharon.
"And that can be our motto!" said Randy.
"Wait what?" said Stan.
"Think about it: is there any other phrase that our family says as much?" said Randy.
"Randy..." began Sharon. Unfortunately, she felt too defeated to protest any further. So she just said, "Fine. A green marijuana leaf on a yellow background. And our motto will be 'Ugh, Seriously?'. Happy?"
"Yes, thank you so much sweetie!" said Randy.
