heard at work

[ljgeoff]

Me: (on the phone) ... Ok, Mom ... yeah, still no power... No, Mike'll be home tomorrow...

Deb: (after I hang up) You don't have power?

Ben: Didn't you hear the story?

Me: Well, we have heat, and just the lights in the kitchen. And the outlets in the upstairs bathroom; Sam has an orange extension cord coming out of the bathroom with a power strip on it for the computer and the Xbox, but all the stuff from my fridge are in the back of my car. Hmmm. I wonder if my chicken will thaw?

Ben: Good to know that Sam has his priorities straight.

Deb: Ew! Thawing chicken in the back of your car?

Ben: Deb has a serious germ phobia.

Me: (grinning) Really? Huh. That would set off your germ phobia?

Deb: Oh, yeah.

Me: Germs don't bother me much. I was one of the kids who would eat things for money.

Ben: You're still one of the kids who would eat things for money.
