Body Snatched

sis: she made me call you to

       make sure you were still you.

       Since it had been a long time since we talked,

       she wanted to make sure you are

       in your body because she said any-

      thing can text.

me: she wants

        you to check to

        see if I'm an

        alien?

sis: yeah

me: uh, okay. I'm

        not an alien.

[leaves room, getting funny looks]

me: What?

        Does she want me

        to prove it?

sis: I have no idea.

       I'm just supposed

       to call her back

       after I talk to

       you.

me: Here, let me send you

        something. Maybe

        that will prove

       I wasn't body snatched?

[from other room]

him: Who are you talking to?!
