“Happy birthday, Princess.”
“Hi Dad!”
“What are you up to?”
“Oh, just getting ready to go out to dinner with Nate.”
“Where are you going?”
“Kosta’s?” I can’t remember if I told him about this place or not, “It’s kind of a Greek place across the river.”
“Is Nate Greek?”
“Not that I know of …?”
“Oh. Then why did he decide to take you to a Greek place?”
“Because it’s delicious? And besides, I think I picked it out.”
“You picked it out? You made a decision?”
“Yeah, yeah. I also got up early even though it was my day off and went tanning today.”
“Who are you and what did you do with my daughter?”
“Ha ha ha.”
“I’ve been telling you for years that you should go tanning for your liver.”
“I know. I was listening.”
“Then why did you finally go?”
“I don’t know. My liver enzymes are actually normal again, though, did I tell you that?”
“Yeah, I think you did. That’s good news.”
“So I guess I just did it because I’m pasty and don’t want to burn this summer. Being not-fat is going to make actually doing things in the summertime tolerable.”
“So what else did you do today?”
“Not much. Got my hair cut and colored. Went to Arby’s. Just kind of took it easy.”
“Well, if you’ve got a date tonight, I’ll let you go get gorgeous.”
“I already am!”
“I know you are.”
“No! That’s not what I mean! I mean I’ve been getting ready while we were on the phone and I’m heading out the door right now.”
“Yeah, but I still knew you were gorgeous.”
“Aw, thanks Dad. I love you.”
“Love you, too, Princess. Happy birthday. Catch you later.”
“Bye Dad.”
