The kid's not feelin' too good. Must be something in the air. Or maybe something he ate. Bad meat. Who knows.

[Inhale, exhale the man's smoking.]

Things happen but back to normal.

[softly, he's two seconds from turning it off]

I like normal.

Pretty good. Just tired today. What's up with you?

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

A few weird curses, a couple of bad nights of sleep. Good now though.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Sounds like the sleep thing is going around. They lied about warm milk. It's actually pretty gross.

[whitetwoguns]

Ovaltine always did the thing for me way back when.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

It's chocolate. Of course it worked better than plain milk.

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

Warmed up it's like cocoa. And it has milk in it... I dunno. Booze works sometimes. Not all the time.

Haven't been sleeping good yourself?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Yeah, well, I'm trying to stay away from the boozy road for now.

[Maybe for always, but she's not saying that much.]

Not really. I'm so tired I'm surprised I still remember my own name.

[whitetwoguns]

Good call. The cons outweigh the pros for sure. ...how do you feel about cold meds?

Just in case fix yourself with a name tag.

[thenormalsquint]

Good when you have a cold. Too risky using it for anything else.

Remember those signs they made out of construction paper that had our personal info on it and we wore them around our necks on field trips in kindergarten? Maybe I should get one of those. If I get lost, somebody will take me to a nice policeman who'll get me home and then hopefully ask me out on a date.

Shit works a few times. Not always though.

Not you. You deserve something with a bit more class. Don't they got medical bracelets with that? Simple. To the point. And doesn't every gal like jewelry?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Yeah, but I'm not drinking Nyquil until I'm too sick to taste it.

That's not jewelry. Besides, I can't draw on it while I wait for my mom to come and get me. It loses the fight right there.

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

Fair deal.

How about a necklace? They got those too.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Maybe, but the construction paper sign has more color and pizazz.

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

You're a modern lady. Who says you can't have it all?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Just because I can have it all doesn't meant I want it all.

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

Wise modern lady.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

I'll take a compliment from you anytime.

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

You're welcome. Anytime.
