Long Flight
“There’s no way a Pelican swallowed that baby.”
”I’m tell you it happened. It was terrifying. Like a fucked up role reversal of those storks that carry babies to new moms.”
”You mean Mother Goose?”
”I said Stork.”
”Well originally you said Pelican.”
”I said like a stork. Listen, you’re just messing with me because you don’t believe it. I wouldn’t either. But it happened— why would I lie to you?”
”You lie to me about not having chocolate all the time. Why would a baby eating bird be any different?”
”Because one is for your health— and the other is because it happened!”
”Adrian, are you calling me fat?”
”I swear to God that Pelican ate that child.”
”Don’t dodge the question. Do you think I’m fat?”
”Please don’t do this.”
”I will never make you my nacho chili cheese fries ever again.”
“Stacy, let’s not get crazy here.”
”Crazy?!”
”…shit.”
”I’m waiting.”
”Can we get back to the birds?”
