Astrid:Negative twelve season tickets at six-thirty a.m.

I frown. What? Twelve more people cancelled their season ticketsthismorning? What happened?

Astrid:But plus eight at eight twenty a.m.

What the hell is going on?

Beckett:This kind of green?

Nora:No, lime green.

Beckett:This is lime green.

I send him a photo of a lime green square.

He sends me a photo of a lime.

I laugh. Okay, fair enough.I need balloons the color I just sent you.

Astrid:Negative two at eight forty a.m.

I sigh. For fuck’s sake.

Beckett:So neon green.

Nora:Okay, neon green. Yes.

He sends me a photo of a balloon he’s holding that is the correct color.

Nora:Yes. That one. I need one hundred. And a helium canister. Maybe two.

Yes, two would be good. My helium canister is nearly out and I can never have too much back-up helium.

Astrid:Positive eight at nine a.m.

Nora:So we’re plus two today?

Astrid:Yes. *eye roll emoji*

Beckett:How about this for the ‘aqua’ balloons?

He sends another photo.

Nora:Perfect.

He already got the purple ones I need.

Beckett:Heading to the candy store next.
