“I guess what I’m gonna do when I get home is take a shower, put on my pajamas, and make a fluffernutter.”
(The fluffernutter "has been proposed as the official Massachusetts state sandwich.")
“Yuh. Yuh. Yuh.”
“But what I think I’m gonna do on my way home is stop at CVS and buy some tissues and some suntan lotion.”
This is the cell phone conversation I overhear on the commuter rail from the person sitting directly behind me/the person speaking directly into my ears.
Then I receive a text message, from a number I don’t recognize.
Hey there stranger
I immediately email one of my BFFs.
Do you know whose number this is? xxx-xxx-xxxx
I just got a text from that number: “hey there stranger” I
can’t figure out who it is
BFF writes back.
Try responding perhaps?
I write back.
I would but I’m afraid it’s someone I slept with
BFF writes back.
Then when they reply, say “umm… you must have the
wrong #, this is Britney”
I text the mystery person, then email BFF.
Me: hi what’s up
Other person: nothin just chillin how are you
I KNEW he’d answer with something that I still can’t figure
out. It’s def a dude though. How do I get better clues?
BFF writes back.
I advise you to ask who it is on the first response, and you
don’t! Instead you have a vague openness
I have nothing further to say!
I write back.
I’m going to tell him I’m doing fine and then see if he’ll try
to make plans or something. Surely, he’ll eventually give
me something I can work with
BFF writes back.
But he knows who he is, unless he is one of those losers
who refer to themselves from a 3rd person's perspective, I
think you're going to be hard pressed.
The fuss that you're going to go through/are going through
is not worth it
I write back.
new tactic.
me: remember that time
I'm hoping he'll just finish the sentence and then I'll know
:)
I text the mystery man.
Remember that time
The mystery man texts back.
What time
I email BFF.
his response: what time
I give up!
BFF writes back.
Give up, while you are behind.
