Chapter 10

“You have a lot of balls.”

Ryan:Are you still mad?

Danny:I’m going to burn this house to the ground.

Ryan:Please don’t do that. I already sent a very strongly worded email to the company.

Danny:And I already called the number on the box and told the person on the phone I would hunt them down and shit on everything they love.

Ryan:Now we’ll never get that missing Lego piece!

Danny:Who packs up a Lego set and forgets ONE FUCKING PIECE? I won’t be able to sleep again until thatStarry Nightis finished. And you’ll be happy to know they’re overnighting it to us.

Ryan:Wow. Impressive.

Danny:I was also told if I ever called that number again, they would have me arrested, but it was worth it.

Ryan:I’ll put a jar in the kitchen when I get home tonight so we can start saving our spare change for your bail money.

Danny:That’s probably wise.

Danny:You have a lot of balls.

Ryan:I… I don’t know how to respond to this.

Danny:In your closet in the entryway. I was looking for an extension cord, and I found where you keep your balls.

Ryan:Oh! Yeah, I do have a lot of bowling balls. There’s a box of cords behind the two blue balls. But they’re really heavy, so be careful.

Danny:Got it. You have heavy blue balls I should be careful lifting LOL!

Ryan:Right. That’s what I said. Why is this funny?

Danny:Read that again, but say it out loud this time.

Ryan:OMG!

Danny:You can’t blame your stupid phone’s autocorrect for this one, my friend.

Danny:How’s Sunday dinner with your dad going?

Ryan:He’s only brought up me being mayor ten times so far.

Danny:I’m sorry. Just flip a table and walk out.

Ryan:Ha! Don’t tempt me. Also, don’t be sorry. He’s usually up to twenty by now. I feel bad I didn’t bring you with me. What are you going to eat?

Danny:You do realize I’ve been cooking for us, right? I think I can manage.

Ryan:You’re eating cereal for dinner, aren’t you?

Danny:Uuuggghhh, whatever! Cooking for one is so pointless. Also, we’re out of Cinnamon Toast Crunch now.

Ryan:I will poop on everything you love.

Danny:You know that just sounds funny instead of offensive, right?
