Girl: ”Was that a Jefferson coin?”
Boy: “I don’t care… Jefferson never did nothin’ for me.  King is my boy!”
Girl: “But, Jefferson was President, King wasn’t.”
Boy: “Okay, but who fought for our people? Not Jefferson.”

Boy: “King is my boy.”

A girl wearing a tube top and gaps between each tooth walks in behind and they sit down together.
Guy: I can’t believe we are not hanging out tonight.
Girl: I told you I made plans in Story City a month ago!
Guy: Well, you’re supposed to be hanging out with me. We never hang out anymore and we are boyfriend and girlfriend!
Girl: We were supposed to hang out this past Saturday and Sunday but we didn’t! You were not f—ing there.
Guy: I had a change of plans!
Girl: Change of plans?! Mutha f—er you were in jail!

Girl: Look at my hand
Friends: Oh my god. It looks awful.
Girl: Yeah the doctor said I should wrap it but I didn’t want to because I have class.
Friends: Oh ok.
Girl: Yeah so my boyfriend was looking at the stove after it set fire and he was like “Do you know there is a fire extinguisher under here?” I said I had no idea.
Friends: So how did the fire start?
Girl: We were just cooking vegetables and they caught on fire. We tried pouring water on the fire but it just spread and went EVERYWHERE. Now I have second degree burns covering my whole hand.
(I see the girl’s mangeled hand.)
Me: I am guessing you were using cooking oil and it started on fire and you tried to put it out with water.
Girl: Yeah. I guess you’re not supposed to do that. Who would have thought that was common knowledge!
