Serious conversation between my father and I

(Scene: work, via the instant messaging system. A father attempts to cheer up his forlorn daughter with Downton Abbey humor. Warning: SPOILERS. ALSO, DARK AND TWISTED HUMOR)

Dad: I’m going to change my name to “Shrimpy.”

Kate: I think that’s a wonderful idea. Stacy has started calling me “Levinia.”

Dad: The dead Swire?

Kate: Yes.

Dad: Oh, Wobert.

Kate: It’s because I get so dramatic when I’m sick.

(Pause)

Kate: I’m Matthew Crawley. I’m dead.

Dad: (posts wilted rose emoticon)

(She feels much better. End Scene.)
