SNIPPETS FROM AN EASTER AFTER-DINNER CONVERSATION
Scene set up ... Easter Sunday in my parents' living room
Sister: I smell bad B.O.
Me: It's not me!
Sister: DID I SAY IT WAS YOU?
Mom: It's probably that sofa.
Sister: You can't smell it?
Dad: I think it's those plants.
Me: giggling hysterically
Sister: I never said it was you.
Dad: Those plants give off a b.o. smell every once in a while when the wind blows.
Mom: My hyacinths I bought yesterday are blooming.
Sister: How does the wind blow? We're in the house.
Me: Still gigging ... wind blowing!
Sister: How does that work, wind blowing in here?
Dad: I'm just saying that it happens sometimes.
Sister: It's like that Amish guy I smelled the other day is right behind me!
Me: more giggling ...
