from the mouths of babes

I have this friend.  Her name is Zoie.  She’s 19 and we have a kind of big sister/little sister thing going on.  I spoke to her this afternoon for the first time in a while, and we had the following conversation.  I do so hope that you find it even half as amusing as I did.

3:34:55 PM zoie: youre gonna think im the biggest loser when i tell u what im about to tell you
3:35:22 PM maria: what?
3:36:30 PM zoie: so when i got home last night, my parents showed my brother’s wedding video that just came out. then when i woke up this morning, i turn on MTV and watched mixed-racial marriages happening, which lead me to thinking about eric, and i’ve decided if me and him got married how i’d plan it out
3:36:46 PM zoie: i told my mom and she laughed
3:37:08 PM maria: lolz
3:37:15 PM maria: that’s cute
3:37:24 PM maria: tho you’re not exactly an interracial couple, lol
3:37:31 PM zoie: i want to wear almost the same dress as Jackie O
3:37:32 PM zoie: haha well sorta
3:37:37 PM zoie: he i spanish and i am a lil white jew
3:37:42 PM maria: yeah
3:37:51 PM zoie: *is
3:38:07 PM maria: i don’t know how to tell you this, but you’re both caucasian
3:38:13 PM zoie: oh yah
3:38:13 PM zoie: omg
3:38:17 PM zoie: no wonder why she called me a retard
3:38:28 PM maria: omg, whee, i am laughing so hard right now
3:38:28 PM zoie: alright, well then i’m talking out of my ass
3:38:31 PM maria: it’s ok
3:38:33 PM maria: it’s still cute.
3:38:38 PM zoie: hehe

I realize now I was remiss in not pursuing the thing about Jackie O’s wedding dress.  I got distracted by the other hilarity.  Sorry, Z. :)
