the high life

“Cracked my phone screen and lost my wallet! This has to be my lucky day.”

It always could be worse, but yeah I hate to agree with you. That’s a bit of bad luck. Have you called to freeze your credit cards?

“I’m not even laughing. More like trying to wrap my head around the fact that you actually do laundry, if we’re being honest. But to answer your question, no. I’ve never had missing socks before.”

Hey I can be domestic! Plus it’s not like I can afford to buy new clothes every time something starts to smell. 

“i wouldn’t put it past him, i’ll be honest with you. isn’t he the one who made that disgusting movie about a hot dog or something?”

Sausage Party? Yeah that’s him. I think they were really stoned went they decided to make that movie.

I watched this video on Facebook that showed how they can get like sucked into the machine, so that could explain it.

Could you point me in the direction of this video? I don’t really see how that could happen but it would make sense.

“That’s actually a good question– Sometimes I think they come to life and try to hide from me on purpose. Silly, I know but its fun to imagine right?”

I mean it’s possible. Could be like Toy Story where your toys come to life. 

“ well, i can’t count the number of brain cells i’ve lost humoring this conversation, either. looks like we both could have benefited from a bit of summer school. ”

School in the summer, no thanks. Let’s be real though, those brain cells probably left because they didn’t want to be stuck with you.

“You were going for stoner? All I picked up on was disappointment to family and… sad.”

This conversation is going nowhere with your judgmental attitude, your family must be proud. 

“i’m not laughing! it’s actually …. oddly relatable. doing laundry is always a wildcard ‘cause i never get back what i put in. i think the washing machine eats my clothes.”

It’s like the laundry is trying to escape one by one. Maybe Seth Rogen will make a movie about your clothes coming to life.

“I can only assume they go missing through negligence.”

Don’t let the stoner persona fool you, I actually do take care of myself like an adult.

“ they usually hide in fitted sheets. have you tried there ? ”

 Nine times out of ten that’s where I’ll find them or hiding inside of the leg of my pants, but every once in a while they just disappear.

“Resale? Yeah. And unless I virtually fight somebody I’m not getting them directly.”

Would you fight someone?

I thought it was a pretty well known fact that gremlins come in the night and steal them?

Well that’s just plain rude. If they want socks then maybe we can just sacrifice all of our other unmatched socks to them and be safe for a while.

“Just think, no matter how hard I work I’ll never be rich enough to buy Hamilton tickets.”

Are they really that expensive?

I know I’ve lived here for a couple weeks now, but I can never remember if I live on Foxtree Lane or Treeline Drive! At least most of the streets have pretty names.

Can’t say I ever experienced the same thing but hopefully you remember soon.

“Are you sure you’re not high already?” Lovie chuckled.

“Only a little bit,” he shrugged dismissively. “Wouldn’t hurt to add to it before I come back down to earth though.” he teased.

Jordyn should have known that comment would come out of Mateo’s mouth, and she let out a laugh. “Ignoring that pun, it sounds like it’d be crazy insane. Like, seriously. Insane. I don’t touch the stuff, but by all means, buddy, you go right ahead,” she nudged him back with her own elbow.”

“See I knew I liked you for a reason, you get my witty puns.” he smirked. “Fair enough, we can just be high on life then.” his chuckle was light. “I’ll race you.”
