"At least pretend to seem happy about it honey. You hurt me so much."
"Pardon me if I can't make you feel my nonexistent excitement over a phone cord."
"Oh my God, don't tell me you are using a phone with a cord. Which era do you live in ?!"
"Damn you boy. It was meant to be a sophisticated phrase. Why do you ruin everything?"

He looked around his room to witness the books lying open on his bed. He had work to do too. But when he started, he thoughts of how she thought his name was Adidas. A smile made its way to his rosy lips.
