About a month ago, Web Ninja was chatting at me. I don't remember what the conversation was about, but he was getting pretty animated and I was (more or less) listening.
I was also trying to chew a piece of gum. I guess I'm not quite talented enough to juggle such diverse tasks. I bit my tongue.
over-dramatization
I told him, "Yeah, I'll be OK. Just be dull for a few minutes."
I was kidding, but God bless him Web Ninja actually tried to "dull" down his story. He stood perfectly still, lowered his voice and spoke slowly. I told him not to take me seriously, but I don't think he believed me.
Eventually the story ended in a whisper and he carefully tip-toe'd away. I literally couldn't hear the last few words he spoke.
Confused
One day last week, I came into work about an hour early. OoRah was mystified. "Why are you here so early?"
Springs and back-falls... who wouldn't be confused?
OoRah tilted his head sideways like a dog who just heard an odd noise. "But... today isn't Daylight Savings Time."
I faked an annoyed look. "What part of 'confused' do you not understand?"
He never asked again.
I don't understand why anybody around ever takes me seriously.
