“So, Beau, did you change your mind about visiting my sister? They have the strawberry banana baby food you like so much. Edie’s willing to share if you come with.”

“I told you, I’m not going. I have work all week! Plus, your sister’s wife always gives me dirty looks!”

“I know you’ve got at least three vacation days, and Val shouldn’t be a problem since she’ll be out with that… librarian glasses club thing of hers. You’ll be fine.”

“Okay, then what about that stupid cat of hers? I’m allergic to cats. I could die!”

“No, you just sneeze all day and complain. You can take something, can’t you?”

“Uhh, I’m pretty sure it’s rude to sleep all day at someone else’s house!”

“Fine, fine! Don’t go! I swear to the Watcher you’ve got an excuse for everything!”

“… Wait. What was that earlier? About the strawberry banana baby food?”
