conversation “it’s about damn time” / #4
Willoughby: It’s about freakin’ time.
E.J.: Watch it, mister!
W: Do you have any idea what I’ve been through the last few weeks?
E.J.: I can hardly wait to hear.
W: You’ve been M.I.A. for weeks. Do you know who people come to you when you go missing? ME! You’ve severely cut into my nap time.
E.J.: Wow. I’ll cry all night. What did you tell them?
W: That you were not feeding me and to please send help.
E.J.: Very funny. Well, I don’t know what to say. I have writer’s block.
W: You have to be writing to have writer’s block.
E.J.: Everything I want to write about could get me fired or run outta town.
W: We live in Los Angeles. What could you possibly say that would get us exiled from the city responsible for Californication and Kathy Griffin?
E.J.: First of all, I’m installing parental controls on the cable box before I leave for work in the morning. And P.S…we’re moving back to Texas. But that’s another story. Until we do, can I just point out to you that I work for a conservative private school, live in an uber-conservative home, and have surrounded myself with friends who would short circuit if they knew what I really want to talk about?
W: Yikes. What do you really want to talk about?
E.J.: Well, at our administration birthday luncheon last week, it was Brazilian waxing, what kind of crime you’d commit if given the chance, and who wanted to start the wave.
W: And no one thought that was funny?
E.J.: I didn’t even get a piece of cake.
W: A good waxing horror story deserves a piece of cake.
E.J. That’s what I thought!
W: At least some icing.
E.J.: And, when it comes to the blog, I want to write about completely inappropriate things. Like how major my pectoralis major looks now that I’m losing weight and burning fat and doing a gazillion bench presses every week. And how nervous I am about my first completely naked spray tan next week. Not the kind you do in an isolation booth…but the kind where a total stranger invades your personal space and hoses you down with an air gun.
W: I’m the only one who’s seen you naked in seven years.
E.J.: You’re only three.
W: That’s 21 in dog years.
