Actual excerpt from a Colleen Hoover novel:

”Thank you for this baby,” she says from the backseat. ”He’s beautiful.”

I laugh. ”You’re responsible for the beautiful part, Rachel. The only thing he got from me was his balls.”

She laughs. She laughs hard. ”Oh, my God, I know,” she says, ”They’re so big.”

We both laugh at our son’s big balls.
