A cricket moment
The moment after someone says something so dumb or rude that the only thing left to hear is crickets, like the universe is trying to laugh at you.
My dad told a joke about his ex. The silence was so thick, I could’ve climbed it.
At lunch, my friend said he thinks dogs are gross. The whole table went silent. Crickets came in.
My mom said she thinks math is the worst. No one said anything. Crickets did.
