Friends

Animals are my friends. I don't eat my friends.

Overheard phone conversation. I just heard Maddie's end.

Maddie: Hello? (pause) What? (pause) I said WHAT?! (pause) Why?! (pause) Oh. (pause) Okay. (pause) I SAID OKAY!

That is how Maddie accepts an invitation from a friend to go to the swimming pool.
