O man, I set my alarm for 8a, then re-set it for 8.30a, then re-set it for 9a, then hit snooze until 9.45a, until I finally staggered out of bed.

Strangely enough, there wasn't an entry this morning. Go figure.

MOLLY
Kymmie, why is your hair pink?

ME
Because it's the prettiest colour in the world, don't you think so?

MOLLY
O yes, Kymmie, it's beautiful!

ME
When you're grown up, you see, you can do anything you want!

MOLLY
Really? When I'm grown up I can do anything I want?

ME
That you can.

MOLLY
Can I drop a table on your head?

ME
Well...

MOLLY
You know, if you're still alive then...

ME
I sure hope I...

MOLLY
But I'd better not hit you on the head with the table, because one, I'll probably have children then, and two, where will they eat?!

ME
Good point. I'm glad you have your priorities in order.

KATIE
Sometimes I'm so sick of some of my Spanish friends. The other day a couple of them took me aside and seriously asked me, "What do white people eat?" I told them the same things that they did and they didn't believe me!

ME
You should tell them that you eat secret white people food and you will be killed if you tell them, but if they wander out of the Goya aisle in Pathmark they might get an idea.

KATIE
I told them we eat snails and fish eggs, and they believed me for a minute, but not long. I just get so sick of stuff like that!

ME
Well, it's the way of the world to think that other people are completely different than you. When my Mom was a kid, she went back to Catholic school after a vacation and said to her friends, "Guess where I went this vacation? I visited a Protestant's house!" and her friends said, "You did?! How do they live?" and Mom said, with surprise in her voice, "The same way we do!!" So it was the same 60 years ago in Belgium!

KATIE
And then later, we all got a pizza from Dominos and we were all eating it, so there was the answer to their question right there!

ME
I'm sorry, I reminded myself 200 times, and I really thought that I would remember, but as soon as I left work, it went straight out of my head. So I didn't get your Backstage.

CYNTHIA
Humph.

FRAN
Are you going to punish her for it like you do me?

CYNTHIA
It would be difficult, because I'd have to go downstairs and sit there and ignore her.

FRAN
You could call her and hang up.

CYNTHIA
No good, she never answers the phone.

ME
Yeah, that wouldn't really break my heart. Besides, like I said to her on the phone, I'd do my best to remember, but I really couldn't change my entire personality.

FRAN
Neither can I, but I don't get any slack for it.

ME
Why don't you just subscribe?

CYNTHIA
I've been thinking of subscribing to the online version, and that way I can cut and paste items into my organizer.

FRAN
Why don't you? Because you enjoy the drama?

CYNTHIA
I don't know, I've just one of the four people left on earth who prefer holding the paper.

ME
My dinner is burning, I gotta go back down.

CYNTHIA
Okay, I'll just sit up here all sadly with no Backstage. Sniff.
