Amusing conversation
Mar. 12th, 2008 08:44 pmThe book club met today. One member is the silliest, most boy-crazy girl I've met in ages. She doesn't always make it to the meetings but when she does she gets all the guys in an uproar and we never accomplish anything. She's a nice, smart girl and everyone seems to like her. Being the center of attention is what she lives for. She tends to wear rather low-cut tops.
She and some friends are writing a fantasy book. She asked if she could read the prologue to the group, and of course I said yes. Well, you can imagine. It was...yeah. They put themselves into the book as the main characters and were fighting demons and evil magicians and such. Very dramatic. At one point it went like this:
The Maiden Bree: The evil demon grabbed the shining sword out of my hand. He cackled, 'I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!' (Not verbatim but you get the gist.) I clutched my bosom and cried out for my friends to help me."
Innocent Seventh Grade Boy: Wait, wait. This doesn't make any sense. I thought the demon couldn't touch the metal of the sword. That's what you said before.
The Maiden Bree: Well, duh, Jay, he touched the hilt. It was made of jewels.
Innocent Seventh Grade Boy: Oh, ok. But why did that make you grab your butt?
*several moments of complete silence*
*everyone looks at The Maiden Bree, then swivels and looks at me, then back at Bree*
The Maiden Bree: Um...Jay...your bosom is not your butt.
Innocent Seventh Grade Boy: It's not? Well, what is it then?
The Maiden Bree: *points at her bosom*
Innocent Seventh Grade Boy: *turns red* ...oh.
*everyone dies laughing*
It was brilliant. :)
