Feliza: “I don’t think I should be using this knife to cut carrots with.”
Christina: glances over from the stove. “No, you aren’t supposed to use serrated knives – “
Feliza: ” – on vegetables.” Throws the knife into the sink and takes a new one. “I guess. You know, carnivores have serrated teeth. If you look really closely. To cut meat with.”
Christina: “I know. I guess. If you think about it, a jaw is pretty much serrated.”
Feliza: “That’s true.” A pause to chop carrots. “You know, I don’t think a lot of teenage girls stand around in their kitchens, making lunch and talking about things like this.”
Christina: “Yeah, well, we’re not really teenagers in our heads.”
That was a fairly bizarre conversation. I haven’t gotten any more letters. I have a fairly bad case of writer’s block.
