at my most annoying
Thursday, October 6th, 2005
Quinn, a guest in my house, making cups of tea for me and her: Where’s the sugar?
R (crashed out in the comfy chair): Beets.
Quizzical looks from Quinn and Mike.
R (warming to my theme): Sugar cane. Various kinds of fruit. Corn.
Silence, crickets, tumbleweed.
R: And there’s a pink cardboard box in the cupboard beside the fridge.
Q (calmly): Thank you.
