Holt:Yes
Ziggy:What if I have bad taste?
Holt:It’s a bathtub
Ziggy:But is your style more clawfoot, tin bucket, or standard boring white porcelain?
Holt:Keep itin the budget
Ziggy:Great. Does the plumber have the budget? Or do I need to guess about it?
Holt:Plumber has it
Ziggy:You’re not even going to ask what a tin bucket bathtub is?
Holt:Will it hold a person?
Ziggy:Yes. And I don’t think it’s actually called a tin bucket style. I’d have to look up the official name.
Holt:Then it’s fine
Ziggy:I’d go clawfoot myself.
Holt:Great
Ziggy:But maybe not in your bathroom. The vanity wouldn’t match, and you’d need a European-style shower curtain setup, which might not fly in the US.
Holt:I’ll call the plumber tomorrow
Ziggy:Probably best.
Ziggy, another three days later:My sister met Jessica today and thinks she’s amazing and wants to do a social media page for your dog. I told her no, but if you want Jessica to be a small-time internet star, let me know and I can make it happen.
Holt:No
Ziggy:Thanks for confirming! I’ll pass along the definitive answer. Also, I unfortunately had to leave that last job (morning sickness is the absolute devil and I miss wine), and my offer on the house fell through, so it’s no problem to stay with Jessica until you’re back.
Ziggy, three more days later:I met Mrs. Massery today. She asked if you’ll be back in time to buy a discount card from her grandson? I don’t actually know what that means, but I got the feeling you would.
Holt:I’ll send her cash. Feel free to use the card
Ziggy:Not to be obtuse, but discount for what?
Holt:Restaurants usually. Maybe an oil change
Ziggy:The last time I got my oil changed, I ended up pregnant.
Holt:Ok
Ziggy:That was a joke.
Holt:Yeah
Ziggy:A bad one.
Holt:Happens
Ziggy:I’ll try to make better jokes in the future. Maybe I’ll try limericks. There was a guest on one of my cruises who only spoke in limerick. It was funny at first, and then it got annoying. No one was sad when the cruise was over. Except maybe his wife. Shehad to listen to them all on her own after they left. Or so I assume.
