Promise is a promise.

Mary and I got into a wee bit of a tiff this afternoon, and though I promised her I wouldn't speak of it again (I won), I didn't promise her I wouldn't blog of it again.

{ How the argument began. }

Beth: it's 7.7.11 today!

i wonder if 7 11's business has increased today

 

maryidaolson: no

GOLLY GEE

 

Beth: no?!

 

maryidaolson: what an interesting inquirty!

 

Beth: how can you say no?

 

Beth: do you get their reciepts directly to your inpox?

 

maryidaolson: you're probably the first person who thought of today's date as significant

 

Beth: are you stoned?

 

maryidaolson: me?!

Beth: you think i am the only person who has thought of the 7-11 parallel?

 

maryidaolson: i think people think of it MAYBE every july 11th

Absolutely nothing. Primary numbers, maybe.

I rest my case.
