A Conversation
“I’ve lost my cereal bowl. I had it Friday.”
“Did you look in the refrigerator?”
“You nailed it. I found it on my desk. I didn’t finish my soup.”
“Those new extensions?”
“Maybe.”
“I don’t understand why you change color or hair length every week.”
“It makes me more interesting.”
“The water cooler took three minutes to give me hot water.”
“It’s not sucking from the bottle.”
“Yeah, that’s what I meant.”
“No. It’s not getting any air so the water isn’t coming out.”
“Well, that sucks. I really don’t want this leftover soup.”
“Dump it out.”
“I should have done that when I was looking for a cereal bowl.”
“Then you would have missed out on our water cooler talk.”
“Perhaps. But it was more fun this way.”
