"So lets do it."

"Huh?"

"I said let's do it."

"O...K... what is IT that we are going to do?"

"A game."

"What kind of game?"

"That would ruin it if I told."

"I need to know the rules."

"The rules are simple enough."

"Ok then what are they?"

"You know, you're not making this any fun."

"Oh I think I can make it fun enough."

"Ok. Just say whatever comes to mind."

"That's it?"

"That's it. Oh and just one word."

"Sounds easy enough."

"I'll begin."

"Ready."

"Moist."

"That's the word?"

"Yeah."

"What kind of word is that?"

"What do you mean? That's the word I chose."

"Moist?"

"Moist."

"Moist?"

"MOIST!"

"Ok......"

"Your turn."

"Bread"

"Bread?"

"Hey! If you can say moist, I can say bread."

"I know. I know."

"You know... but what?"

"What what?"

"You gave me a look."

"What look?"

"That look that says you thought bread was dumb?"

"I did?"

"You know you did."

"I... was just hoping for something more."

"Oh."

"I mean bread was nice and all. I was just hoping for something more."

"Well... it's staying bread."

"Fine."

"Doesn't bother me."

"Me either."

"Good... so um... lets start over again."

"Fine."

"I'll start."

"Ok."

"Moist."

"Bread."

"Fresh."

"Baked"

"Half."

"Wait a minute. Was that a remark about this game?"

"What do you mean?"

"Half. Baked. You think the game is dumb don't you."

"I didn't say that."

"Not directly."

"No I didn't. Hey."

"No that all right. I just try to make the evening fun is all."

"I think our evenings are fun."

"You do?"

"You know I do."

"That's nice to here."

"Come here."

"That's two words."

"Come over here."

"Alright."

"You know I like your game."

"I know you like games."

"I do."

"I'm here. So what happens now?"

"This......."

"..........."

"...... there."

"What was that for?"

"Just for being you."

"Thank you."

"You're more than welcome."

"You know I like this game."

"What was it named again?"

"Moist."

"I like that."

"Me too........."

"..........."

".....mmm Moist."

"It certainly was."

"I hope that was moist enough for you."
