How Conversations Progress

Erin mentions it’s been exactly two weeks since we ate Ruth’s Chris. The best The only way to break vegetarianism for one night.

She says she wants it so badly she can taste it. 

I look at her. Her eyes are watering. She’s making motions toward her munching cave with her hand in the shape of a shovel.

She swears she’s never eating my soy beef tips again. Ever.

Then Gilmore jumps up on the bed and she asks her, “What are you doing, Beef Tip?” And I think that would have been a cool dog name.

And then she asks, “How’s his beef tip?” as she nudges Chapin because his lipstick is almost always out. And now I never want my fake beef tips ever again either.
