In search of the slushie
Scene: Monday evening at Vanessa and Randi's apartment
Vanessa, sprawled on the couch and watching The West Wing: I want a slushie.
Randi, at the computer in Vanessa's room: Oh, that sounds good!
20 minutes later...
Randi: Where can we get a slushie?
Vanessa, now watching Office Space: Dairy Queen's the only place I can think of. I wonder about the other little ice cream shoppes nearby. Would Twisters have it?
Randi: Nah, they don't have much.
15 minutes later...
Vanessa: What about that little Italian cafe down the street? They have gelato.
Randi: Are they open this late?
Vanessa: Good point.
10 minutes later...Vanessa is sitting on the balcony smoking a cigarette. Randi walks into the kitchen and stops.
Vanessa: We going?
Randi: Yeah.
15 minutes later...at Dairy Queen on the South Side.
Randi: Do you know what you're getting?
Vanessa: A jigundenormous Mr. Misty, but I can't decide which flavor. Kiwi-strawberry or lemon-lime. What do you think?
Randi: Get one of both!
Vanessa: Heehee.
Randi: Do they still do Misty floats?
Vanessa, pointing to the far left panel: Yeah, over there.
Randi: Then I'm getting a cherry Misty float.(pause) Are you really going to get one of both?
Vanessa: Yeah, why not?
(Both laugh.)
And this is why I love my roommate.
