Adam:

What’s your favorite color?

3:36 PM

Alison:

Pass. Only children have favorite colors.

3:38 PM

Adam:

I’m getting paint for the living room.

3:39 PM

Adam:

Not true. My favorite color is brown.

3:41 PM

Alison:

Favorite colors are irrelevant when it comes to painting.

3:42 PM

Alison:

Get a greige with a warm undertone because the windows are north facing.

I’m at my desk Wednesday morning when my phone vibrates.

8:51 AM

Adam:

I went with light gray. Greige isn’t a color, and the windows are west facing.

8:53 AM

Alison:

I don’t know cardinal directions. I’m not a scout leader.

8:55 AM

Adam:

Couldn’t rule it out. I’ve watched you consume a lot of Girl Scout cookies.

8:58 AM

Alison:

We completely skipped over that your favorite color is brown!?!
