“Guess what?”

“What?”

“I’m taking ibuprofen. Isn’t that great?”

“Uhhhh, that’s. . . nice?”

“You’re not studying, are you?”

“No, I’m just. . . looking at the words.”

“Oh suuuuure.”

“No, really. The words are very pretty.”

Conversation snippet: Exams

“Even luckier. Then you won’t have to take the exams.”

“Shut up.”
