Good Guy

I thought you said you were packing light? Unless you have a magic bag, that’s not all going to fit.

I’ve discovered this morning that packing for a trip isn’t one of those instinctual life skills you’re born knowing. As I so often do, I’m overcomplicating.

Good Guy

It’s summer. Pack 1 pair of pants, 2 shorts, 4 shirts, 1 hoodie, a few socks, and some underwear. You’ll wash as you go. Also, does your coffee mug say what I think it says?

It’s my sister’s. We volunteer at a dog rescue, and they sell these as a fundraiser every year. It’s true though, such a slut.

The mug reads:I’m a slut for a mutt.

Good Guy

Do you have a dog?

No, I live with my sister and nephew, and he’s allergic. Which is unfortunate for him but has probably saved us from a hoarding situation because we’re suckers and would bring home every one of them given the chance. What about you?

Good Guy

Also a slut, but I don’t have a dog right now. I work too much, and it wouldn’t be fair to leave them alone. I think that’s part of the reason I like visiting my uncle’s farm so much.

Enjoy the rest of your stay, whore. And snuggle one of those toupee-wearing cows for me.

Good Guy

Will do. Good luck packing. Remember, essentials only.

What if I forget something?

Good Guy

Lean in close, I have a secret.

*Leans in so close my nose is touching the screen*

Good Guy

There are these things called stores. They sell stuff. And they’re everywhere. It’s WILD.

I laugh, send a middle finger GIF, and add,

And thanks. That actually made me feel a little better.

Good Guy

Seriously, don’t stress. It’s all going to work out.

Is it? Because there’s also the flight to worry about. A huge craft hurling through the atmosphere at high speed seems more like magic and less like science.

Good Guy

This time tomorrow, you’ll have your first flight under your belt and be able to answer the magic vs. science conundrum.

Hopefully not from beyond the grave. x

This is the first time I’ve tried out adding the little kiss, and I like it.
