Scene: Chloe and I are sitting on opposite couches, both staring at our respective laptop screens.
Abby is begging Chloe to play Bluff.
Then she asked Chloe what other people commonly call Bluff.
Chloe didn't know how to not tell her "b.s."...so Chloe said nothing.
Abby asked again.
Chloe told her "I don't want to tell you. And you can't play Bluff with only two people."
on the contrary. I bluff between two people all the time. but I'll keep that to myself.
Abby went to recruit Nate and Emily, because then they would have 4 people.
Chloe decided she didn't want to play at all.
Nathan started crying.
Abby asked him why he was crying.
Nate, in his adorable almost 6 year old sob, replied "I just wanted to play poker!"
Emily: "................we don't do that..........."
Nate: "...oh. I meant Go Fish."
I'm probably the only person that thinks that whole exchange was funny.
Also, something sweet happened.
Thursday.
I woke up. And my body said: "HA!!!!!"
interpreted: sinuses all full, eyes all puffy, muscles all worn out, classes in an hour.
text message to Bryan: "hey, will you bring me some ibuprofen?" (I was already on campus at this point.)
text message to Bethany: "are you sick?! do I get to take care of you?! yes I will!"
----class period later-----
boy walks up to girl.
boy hugs girl.
boy asks girl how she is feeling.
boy pulls out a handful of ricola lozenges, a bottle of ibuprofen, dayquil, and a canteen bottle of orange juice.
girl is blessed.
In other news: my bangs are now all grown out. Promise kept. Now what?
