I thought I'd never get to use those pirate costumes again.

Hey, even pirates are God's creatures. You know what they say, Mom-- "forgiveness is divine." That means humans shouldn't forgive people, either, or else we'll be playing God again.

Is a hypothesis less than a thesis?

Our parrot is named Rain Man. His idea of a song is very squawky and irritating.

 Humans are less monogamous than a lot of birds. I like birds.

From time to time I make Shakespeare references for my husband's benefit, largely because he can't stand Shakespeare. Once I told him "You kiss by the book of arithmetic" (merging a quote from Juliet about Romeo with a quote from Romeo about Tybalt, a brilliant juxtaposition that was utterly lost on him).

The twinkle in his eye! He's still alive!

Does it really count as a Spoonerism if the transposed letters aren't at the beginnings of the words?

Cathy is really pathetic. She can't even use Google Maps?

I guess Cathy doesn't really hate everything that I like. I do like shopping at Target stores.

There actually is a book by that title. I have stocked it. But not read it.

This was actually pretty dang hard to write. Switching from one person's perspective to another, and repeatedly asking myself "okay, what's Abby thinking, what's Cathy thinking, what does Abby think that Cathy thinks..." -- it's like an extended, extra-nasty Sally-Anne test. Even with the help of lots of personal experience with badly-connected walkie-talkie conversations.
