Today we were at the grocery store picking up some stuff for dinner when Franny found her favorite night manager, who has been her friend for almost three years now. I eavesdropped.
“How’s your summer going?” the night manager asked.
“Okaaay,” Franny said.
“What have you been doing?” she asked.
“Nothing,” Franny replied. Oh, that’s right. We haven’t been going to the Zoo, working on reading, or doing drama camp. And we certainly haven’t been going on vacation or anything.
“Nothing?” the manager pressed. “Nothing at all?”
“Well,” Franny conceded, “I have been sitting in a cardboard box, staring at the wall.”
I popped around the corner.
“LIES!” I shouted, pointing at Franny. Strudel murmured, abandoned in her strolly by the case of salsa and tortillas. “You’ve been reading. You’ve been doing a lot of stuff,” I accused.
Franny shrugged and glanced at the night manager as if to say, “I don’t know this crazy woman either. What’s with people, anyway?”
I’ll remember this the next time you need shots, Franny. I may just let you go rabid.
