Wednesday afternoon. Gmail.
Subject: pizza
Me to Jonathan: Tell me not to go eat the pizza in the kitchenette.
Jonathan to Me: DON’T GO!
Me to Jonathan: But I want it. And nobody’s watching.
Jonathan to Me: BUT I’M WATCHING.
Me to Jonathan: Okay. FINE. I’m going home. I had a bad day.
Jonathan to Me: I did too. Let’s pout!
Thank you, Jon.
