I just want to show my knees!

[brooklyn, september 2008]


Woman 1: You know, I heard McDonald’s is making lattes now.

Woman 2: McDonald’s? (initially feigning contempt) Well that’s just...(face lights up) fantastic!

Woman 1: Isn’t it?! (with tremendous relief; leaning in conspiratorially) Now we don’t have to
listen to jazz all day long!

Woman 2: I can start wearing heels again.

Woman 1: Read gossip magazines! (gleefully discards book )


Woman 2: Watch reality TV shows…


Woman 1: I like television!


Woman 2: I can’t really speak French.


Woman 1: I don’t know where Paraguay is!


Woman 2: Paraguay?
