On the surface it's affectation & torture -
|
|
Unfortunately, their ulterior motives have
a way of
|
|
highlighting intense bittersweet feelings
in you,
|
|
without any sweet fruit - Sometimes you
just get
|
|
the idea the other person is trying to control
you.
|
|
|
"How is it?"
[Your steak, veggies, potato, wine, service,
conversation, vacation, sunburn, horror, tablecloth,
salad dressing, soup, ....]
—It's perfect.
—It's perfect ... Just right! ...
Pretty special.
|
| |
| |
|
"Is your show
on?"
—Any one.
—I knew there was an ulterior motive.
|
| |
| |
|
["Thank you."] Uh-huh.
—Before long!
—And weird stuff.
|
| |
| |
|
"Have a nice night."
—Secret knowledge.
—Maybe I will.

But It's An Emergency! - How does
a kid know if it's
|
|
really an emergency? A family really should
have
|
|
an "Emergency Password," and without
it,
|
|
a child should practice being outrageously
bad.
|
|
|
"Please, come
over here."
—Sure, Jack!
—I've got a nose to pick with you.
|
| |
| |
|
"Honey, your mom
sent me to pick you up."
—Hold it!
—What's the password?
|
| |
| |
|
"Is there another front entrance? ...
I want to save him
the trip of coming down." [Stranger at your apartment
building, waiting for you to open the door]
—Just wait!
—Let's wait ... Hold it, hold
it, hold it ...
Everything takes longer than you expect.
|
| |
| |
|
"It's an emergency."
—TOO HOT!
—There's a pack of electric little
phony girls.
