Anah: Are you a vegetarian?
Matt: Um… Hi, Penguin. How are you?
Anah: Oh, right… yeah. Hi, Honey Bun. I’m fine thanks. How are you?
Matt: Very well, thank you for asking.
Anah: So, are you a vegetarian?
Matt: No, I am not.
Matt: Why do you ask?
Anah: I’m not the one asking. My mom is.
Matt: Any particular reason why?
Anah: She wants to cook something for you on Christmas Eve but she wanted to know if you are a vegetarian or if you have any food allergies.
Matt: Not a vegetarian, and I don’t have any food allergies. Just don’t make me eat any tomatoes, that’s all.
Anah: Tomatoes?
Matt: They are the most disgusting thing ever!
Anah: Ever?
Matt: It doesn’t even know what it is!
Anah: It’s a fruit.
Matt: That thinks it’s a vegetable.
Anah: No, it’s definitely a fruit.
Matt: Then why can’t you put it in a fruit bowl?
Anah: I don’t know… why are you making me think of this?! I’m gonna need four hours and a lot of Googling just to get that question out of my mind.
Matt: Sorry… but when you do hit on the answer, let me know.
Anah: Sure thing, Honey Bun.
Matt: What are your plans for today? Apart from Googling why you can’t put tomatoes in a fruit bowl.
Anah: Having a chill out day. I have the house all to myself.
Matt: Where is everyone?
Anah: Noah is at college. My folks are going out with some friends for brunch soon, and Eden is headed over to Jake’s.
Matt: So, you’re on your own?
Anah: Yep.
