Actual conversation with Kaida over the weekend.
Kaida: I was over at Carla and Ian’s tonight to watch a movie.
Me: Really?
[You have to understand: Carla and Ian are good people, but they have the worst—and I mean worst—taste ever (Ever!) in movies. Is it important what kind of taste people have in movies? More on that another time.]
Anyway, I steeled myself not to react to whatever she said. Every week Kaida comes back with a report that she’s watched some god-awful movie like She's The Man, and I always flip out and have a cow. This time I was determined not to react.
Me: (feigning nonchalance) How was your time?
Kaida: Great!
Me: Yeah? Uh, what did you have to drink.
Kaida: Diet
Me: And to eat?
Kaida: Carla made me a chocolate cake. At least, I think she made it. I’m not sure. It was good.
Me: (deep breath, as my stomach clenches like I just ate some bad shrimp), and what movie did you see?
Kaida: Failure to Launch
Me: (in a small quiet strangled voice) I wasn’t ready.
