Me: There you are! What on earth are you doing over here? Did you forget why we came to the market in the first place? Come on!
Catheryne: Sorry I got lost! I'll go as fast as I can to make up for lost time.
Catheryne: Do we need to get anything else while we're here?
Me: Don't try to lie to me. You were looking at this fabric stall. Some of those are very pretty, I admit.
Catheryne: Fine, you caught me. Wouldn't you just love to buy some of them and make a beautiful dress? Sigh...
Me: Look at this saffron shawl! It's so fine, I can almost see through it!
Catheryne: Wow it's beautiful! I would love to be able to create something so lovely. Wouldn't you?
Me: Well, it's fine to look at. But we have work to do. I already collected the sage and belladonna, with no help from you. You go get the bottles and salve. Be sure to get a good price.
Catheryne: Bottles and salve. Check. What kinds do I need again? I want to make sure to purchase the correct things.
Me: I wish you would pay attention when he tells us these things. Maybe we'd be full assistants if you weren't so easily distracted.
Catheryne: The best price I could get was eleven for everything. Do we need anything else before we head back?
Me: That's a better price than usual. I hope the bottles aren't too thin glassed. Give me the rest of the money. I know how you get tempted in the market
Catheryne: The bottles shouldn't' be too thin glassed. The shopkeeper's son was working today. He gave me a good deal. Shall we return?
Me: What is that in your bag? Did you buy something else?
Catheryne: It's nothing. I didn't buy anything. He gave it to me!
Me: It's that shawl! How did you pay for this?
Catheryne: He gave it to me!
Me: Who did? Don't tell stories.
Catheryne: The shopkeeper's son!
Catheryne: I swear I'm telling you the truth!
Me: How could he have bought you the shawl that we had been looking at ten minutes ago, if he's been working all this time?
Catheryne: I don't know! I swear he gave it to me! Perhaps he had one made before today?
Me: That's a fine story. And how does a shopkeeper's son afford something like that?
Catheryne: I don't know! You should go ask him! I didn't do anything wrong! I just accepted his gift!
Obviously, Catheryne is trying to pull one over on me. She probably spent the rest of the market money on that shawl. Nice try, Catheryne!
I also texted Anjin last night. It was obviously a separate idea than my texting session with Catheryne. I think it was about an hour later.
Me: Ffffffffffffffffffft.
Anjin: (ignoring me, probably thinking it was a strange way of saying hi.): Hey, did you ever text Ashley back?
Me: Don't bother me when I'm breathing.
Anjin: (probably realizing I'm asleep): LOL
I have no memory of texting that. The funny thing is, my phone can't do "fffffffffffft" unless I very specifically spell each f by itself by pushing the 3 button 3x for each f. I guess it was important enough for all that effort.
I think I'm going to start saying "Don't bother me when I'm breathing" in my daily life.
