WENDY: hello!
ALISON: how goes it?
WENDY: good

ALISON: what kind of pants?
it's interesting because I'm thinking about taking some pants off soon
WENDY: just, you know, daytime pants
ALISON: I have daytime pants too!
WENDY: like people wear who don't work from home
ALISON: oh
wait
that's a different type of daytime pant
WENDY: this sweater and pajama bottoms look i'm rocking is great, mind you
ALISON: you're talking full on public pants
WENDY: wait, tell me more about your daytime pants
signed, curious in california
ALISON: well they're really my writing pants
which if you say it fast sounds like riding pants
hence, conjures some kind of stylish jodpurs
but no
they are velour sweat pants
elastic waist
WENDY: oh, very 2002
ALISON: draw string
WENDY: go onnnnnnnnnn
ALISON: they're also for light erranding
WENDY: i just got a daytime boner
ALISON: often I'll wear them in the morning, take a shower, and then put them back on

Wendy's exciting career news, now with...
WENDY: i am super-urban
my rap career is about to drop, as they say.
right now it's mainly mumbling to myself and not making eye contact, but that's how most rappers start off
ALISON: wow you must so excited!
are you?
WENDY: yeah
i'm cautiously optimistic
that's the name of my album
and also my rap moniker
ALISON: I like it
WENDY: it was either "cautiously optimistic" or "courtney"
i think i made the right choice
ALISON: not "this 40's half full"?
WENDY: yeah, but like 1940's right?
my rap has a 1940's theme
ALISON: that's why you're about to drop and go viral
WENDY: My sound evinces both the relief that the long wars in Europe and Asia are over, but also the grinding sense of moral ambiguity about the dropping of the A-bomb
which will eventually explode into the outright anti-government stance of the populace in the 60s and 70s
ALISON: but you can dance to it
WENDY: yep
my rap got a 5 on the US History AP exam
ALISON: your rap had a pretty cushy senior year of college because it had some credits already, huh?
WENDY: you betcha!
ALISON: my one woman show only got a 2 on the AP History exam
it's called "Hooray for the Hindenberg"
and it's about great moments in history
WENDY: yeah, "hooray for the hindenburg" is a pretty unsupportable position
ALISON: like how flappers invented the printing press
(flapping paper)
WENDY: oh boy
it's wrong AND it's a pun
ALISON: and how you can cure polio with bathtub gin
WENDY: gunshot sound
