“Shut up! Just shut and listen!”
“What?”
“I said shut up!”
“Ok. Fine. Go on.”
“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”
Silence.
“Ok. I’m sorry. But you aggravate me.”
“What did I do?!”
“I said shut up!”
“Wow! You’re really being nasty. What’s wrong with you?”
“You. You’re all wrong with me.”
“Again – what did I do?!”
“Gah! You don’t get it do you? I really wanted to be super cool today. I wanted to be charming and interesting; a brilliant conversationalist. But you decided to show up and I had to just keep quiet and stay in my shell, while you made a fool of yourself talking about how breads were cooked in India! Ugh!”
“Hey1 I’m sorry. You obviously weren’t finding much to talk about so I thought I’d be a little informative while filling up those gaps in conversation. So sue me!”
“You’re an embarrassment.”
“O yeah?”
“Ok, ok! That’s enough of you two kids quarrelling. First, it wasn’t as bad as you make it out to be. And secondly, it was a good lesson for the future. At least we now know what not to do in a social situation.”
“Yeah! Don’t let her run away with the conversation.”
“Don’t start on me again. You could have spoken up if the cat hadn’t got your tongue just ‘coz he was there! I mean, ok he’s cute. So what? He has a perfect girlfriend who he’s committed to, so get over it already.”
“Hey! I’m not besotted with him ok? Besides he’s my boss. Our boss. So shut up”
“Is that your favorite thing for the day? Shut up?”
“Just shut up!”
“Ok. It’s time for our appointment with the shrink. Who’s going to take center stage today?”
“Not me! I went last time. Maybe she should go, she can talk all about Indian cooking and dazzle Dr. Householder.”
At Dr, Householder’s office –
“So, are the medicines helping?”
“I guess.”
“Err… which one of you am I talking to today?”
“It’s me, Nutty.”
“Have you girls been taking the medicines I gave you regularly? You know multiple personality disorder is serious. You have to decide to let go of your differences and combine forces into a single personality. That’s what we’ve been working towards, right? You do understand that?”
