Girl Talk

I was making lunch in the kitchen yesterday while the girls waited at their little table. I asked Annie what she did on the playground at school that morning, and she replied that the boys were chasing her. Jemma got a concerned look on her face.

"Boys. Get. You?" she said worriedly.

Annie smiled indulgently. "Yeah, the boys were chasing us on the playground."

Jemma, still worried. "You. Sad. About. That?"

Annie snuck a glance at me. "No," she said reassuringly. "We were just being silly."

Jemma grinned, relieved. She laughed, loudly. "Silly. Boys!"
