FACTUAL & SALTY (call)

"Hola, Theolicia."

"Sup, Miss Inpedendent."

"I feel sick."

"Damn, I knew my voice was sickening but that's a whole new level."

"Yeah, well, you make me nauseous. What can I say?"

"Anyway, why do you feel sick?"

"I'm lactose intolerant and I had some ice cream. Or maybe a tub full."

"Well that was smart of you."

"I never claimed to be intelligent."

"So if you're not supposed to have ice cream, then why eat it?"

"Just because I'm not supposed to, doesn't mean I can't."

"I guess but isn't that unhealthy for your body?"

"It disagrees, sure, but when I want ice cream or milk or cheese, then I'll have it. Life's too short."

"Well, okay then. Have you figured out why you're sad?"

"No. What's that shuffling noise?"

"Oh, I was just moving to lie on my bed."

"I'm lying on my bed too. Mainly 'cause I feel sick."

"And whose fault is that?"

"Yeah, yeah. No eres mi madre."

"Obviously I'm not your mother, I'm a male after all. You sure you have all your marbles with you today?"

"Why are you being extra sassy, hm?"

"I'm not being sassy, I'm being factual and a little salty."

"Good because I like being the sassy one in this relationship."

"Relationship?"

"You know what I mean."

"..."

"..."

"I gotta go now. The lactose is catching up to me."

"Tmi, much?"

"You love it. Bye!"
