mmm, tea

"Do you think I should try out for swim team?" Andi asks her sister.

"I don't know, do you want to be on the swim team?" inquires Bella.

"Maybe, I don't know. It could be fun, and I'd get to be in the pool a lot."

"Then sure, go for it." Bella bites into her grilled cheese.

"Yeah, Bella totally carries me in English class. I have more tolerance for math though."

"English class, there's a joke," snorts Robin.

"Don't mock the colonials," says Ethan.

[pandion]

"The Redcoats are mocking, the Redcoats are mocking!"

[instar]

"Pffffff."

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan snickers.

[hold_infinity]

Robin giggles.

"I don't even know why it's called English class. In elementary school it was Language Arts, and a decent fraction of the literature we study is translated from other languages, we're doing a chunk of Dostoevsky in December."

[pandion]

"Not the entirety of Dostoevsky? Just like his arm or something?"

[instar]

"A passage from the middle of a novel," snorts Bella. "Not the whole thing, no room in the schedule."

Meanwhile, the Redcoats

are cracking up.

[pandion]

"I should go into standup, clearly."

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan giggles.

[hold_infinity]

Robin snickers.

"I think you're more conversationally funny than monologue-funny," Bella tells Andi. "Maybe you could translate it, though."

[hold_infinity]

"His arm," says Robin, and giggles harder.

[pandion]

"Dostoevsky's Arm sounds like a band name. They would play incomprehensible electronica!"

[hold_infinity]

She is now laughing so hard she has to lean on Ethan to stay arguably upright.

[palmofyourhand]

He is not much less giggly than that. But he manages not to fall over.

[pandion]

"It could be a whole crossdisciplinary unit. We could dissect his arm in bio. Except he only has two, so we'd have to do in groups."

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan splutters.

[pandion]

"Ew," says Andi as she thinks about this in more detail.

[instar]

"Also he's been dead for a while now, I believe, so that would be more of an archaeology project."
