(Scene: K’s room on a gloomy Wednesday night. L has come over after a long, hard day so our two favorite working girls can brainstorm ideas for making more bank. Along with brainstorming comes random chit-chat, and they tend to have the most random chit-chat of all…)
L: So, if we decide to make cards, what kind of “topics” should we have?
K: Well, I guess “thank you” and “thinking of you” would be pretty easy, and people probably would buy those…I think.
L: Let’s make cards that are blank inside. We’re already going to be expending energy on design and greeting…people probably want to have the option to say whatever they want anyway.
K: Good point. Ooooo, what about “bestie” cards?
L: That sounds cool, but what the heck would we say on the front?
K: How about, “I love you more than I hate the Kardashians”?
L: That’s perfect! It says so much while still being simple.
(After about 30 more minutes, distraction settles in and the girls begin to talk about the future and how they plan to deal with changes that will likely come.)
K: I saw a Herman Cain bumper sticker the other day. I didn’t know he was a serious contender. I though he was the novelty runner.
L: All I know is that if Michelle Bachmann is elected, Chuck and I are moving to Canada. We even picked a city, Victoria. It’s near Seattle, and the health insurance is free.
K: I’m moving with you.
L: Excellent.
K: Why didn’t moving to Canada occur to us before? It’s so much more feasible than our old plan of becoming rich, moving to London, and finding me a footballer or rugby player to marry.
L: I’m not sure. Maybe because it’s cold in Canada?
K: Maybe. Here’s to Canada, eh?
L: I’m all for it, doncha know.
K: Maybe we could live on an island…
L: (Laughter) Maybe.
(Topics turn to other random things, like the book that our girl K so desperately wants to write and pondering job situations, God, and why it seems as though prayers are being ignored or going unanswered…topics for another day. Fade lights, end scene.)
