conversation clutter

PEYTON: I love this song; can you turn it up? This is our favorite song right now, right?

ME: (Tunes now cranked) Love it. Remember we couldn’t figure out the words but Sara was actually right about them?!

SARA: (Off in her own world…tuning in on the last words…) No! I don’t have anything to write today.

PEYTON: Outburst of laughter and uncontrollable comments.

ME: Silent snickering. Don’t worry Sara. I will check if you have homework.

SARA: (Very defensive) I don’t! I don’t have anything to write!

PEYTON: Still cracking up. No you don’t get it. She was saying you were right.

SARA: No you don’t get it. I don’t have anything to write!

ME: Cracking up. Uncontrollably. Neither of them get it (but a lesson on homonyms is not my aim at the moment).
