The Number On The Napkin
"Hello?"
"Hi. Ok so I think it's only fair that now that you know myâ"
"Oh my god!"
"What?"
"OH MY GOD!"
"What?!"
"This is the first time you have ever called me! This is a big deal! A huge deal!"
"Wellâ"
"I'm going to screenshot this call, write it down... wait where's a pen?"
"Heyâ"
"Oh found one! And I'm going to put it on the calendar on my phone and put it on my regular calendar too!"
"Look Iâ"
"Oh this calendar expired... like three years ago... Oh well I don't use paper calendars anyways!"
"Hey, listen to me! I'm on my very short break at work and I called so I get to talk!"
"Whoa, ok go ahead Tulip."
"Great, Iâ wait did you just call me Tulip?"
"Yes, I did. Now go on."
"Right. So I think it is only fair that now that you know my name I should know yours."
"Ah I see. So now you have to play my game... Mwahaha!"
"Are you choking?"
"What? No I was laughing evilly! That was my evil cackle! Ugh, whatever. Anyways, my game..."
"Alright, I'll play."
"Great! Now your first hint is that my name starts with an A."
"Alec."
"What? How did you guess that already?!"
"I don't know, that's just the first A name that popped into my head."
"Well damn it, that didn't really work... Can you just guess a different name?"
"Ok... Ashton?"
"Nope."
"Adrian?"
"No!"
"Alex?"
"Oh, so close!"
"Ok, now this is just a crazy, wild guess that I don't think could possibly be right but I'm still going to ask... Alec?"
"Ding, ding, ding! You got it!"
"Yay."
"Can you please sound a little more enthusiastic? You're ruining it."
"Yay!"
"There you go! That's better!"
"Well, Alec now we know each others names."
"Indeed we do Tulip."
"It's Daisy..."
"I know but I just like calling you Tulip."
"Whatever floats your goat... oh have to go! Mrs. Pumpernickel just walked in and I have to go take her order!"
