Real conversation

Counter kid at the Books-a-Million Joe Muggs Cafe, handing me my 20 ounce cup of Joe’s Choice: How’re you doing today?

Me: Just trying to stay dry. (Having just come in from a pouring rain.)

Kid: I didn’t know it was going to rain today. I never watch the news.

Me: So every day’s a surprise, eh?

Kid: Huh?
