To: [not down on my watch] From: [guess who has ben and jerry's?]
I had noticed. Mainly because that's what I do, notice things. There's a whole bunch of physiological and psychological explanations for it, but I'll settle for appearing on your doorstep (you are in your room, yes?) with the tub of vanilla ice cream I got while I was in town tonight. And then you can vent about Haroun being away, and about the team stuff and taunt me with this whole special dance thing (a costumer? What exactly have I let myself in for?) and I'll even let you pelt me with pixie sticks again if it helps. And I can tell you about plans for your therapy, and how good your last lot of test results were and how Scott actually let himself enjoy something tonight (he's been horribly wound up, with Betsy acting oddly, which could explain his supreme tactlessness with the team stuff) and how I made him snort Coke by telling him about how I made Haroun listen to bagpipe music the last time he was in the filtering machine.
Maddie.
PS: Oh well, it was worth a try. Find something to put on the DVD - I'll be there in a minute.
