Hey, Bobby. Graduation festivities still going on?
“Oh, yeah. It’s like a Polish wedding. Or a cricket game. Never-ending.”
That sounds fun.
“It’s been a hoot. I’ve eaten my weight in shrimp the past few days.”
Awesome.
“Sure. Proud moment, y’know. I didn’t graduate high school, so this is a big deal.”
I’m happy for you and your family, Bobby.
…
“I feel like you wanna talk about the toppermost.”
It’s a new one!
“Oh, yeah. This is my party ‘most. The last one was strictly for ceremony. It’s, uh, the difference between camos and dress blues.”
If you say so. Does this toppermost have names? Josh told me they all have names.
“Uh-huh. This is Lightning Holds Grudges Against Umbrellas, which means something in Japanese, apparently. It’s some sort of religious saying. The guy tried to explain it to me for a good hour, but my mind wandered.”
Any special features?
“It’s not just comfortable, it’s comfortwilling.”
Wow.
“And the left sleeve has a pouch for ether.”
Party ‘most.
“You bet.”
