It seems like forever since I’ve hung out with Sleepless, at least 12 hours, so I was very excited about the prospect of hanging out with her last night. Scot-tea and Venn. I was the first to arrive at our favorite restaurbar and ordered a “surprise me” from the $2 well drinks special. Just after receiving my drink I spoke with Mini Sparkle Donut’s little sister. She was interested in joining us and I was excited to see her and have her meet my friends.
She needed a ride, so I phoned Scot-tea and asked him to retrieve her. She was precautious (similar to precocious, but different) about getting in a car with a stranger and asked if we could make a safe word, so as to make sure she didn’t actually get in the wrong car. We came up with a safe word and, a few minutes later, Scot-tea rolled up to retrieve her. She asked if he knew the secret word and he replied, “Teapot. ” She was in like Flynn.
Once we were all at the restaurbar, we started ordering meals and appetizers. Teapot convinced Scot-tea to do a little jingle with her, “When you say tea, I say pot….tea…pot….tea…pot.” That seemed to get them far. Scot-Tea was complimenting Sleepless on her natural beauty and smashing personality, “I thought about you the other night – I took care of it.” SleepLess thanked him for his kindness.
We ordered some food and Teapot proved to all of us that she was a good eater. Scot-tea made a comment about her appetite and she replied, “Thanks a lot, our safe word is no longer safe.” A few minutes, and most of his crab cakes later, they were best of friends again, “When you say tea, I say pot….tea…pot….tea…pot.”
