Ryan texts a random number he found on the bathroom stall. Brendon tries to ignore the text messages when he finds out who it is. Out of mutual boredom and curiosity, the pair decide to play 21 questions.

Ryan: what was your favorite book reading growing up?
Brendon: lol really?
Ryan: yes sir I would like to know what books got young Brenny to read
Brendon: alright if I don't want to go with a stereotypical Dr. Sueus book I'll say there was an old lady who swallowed a fly
Ryan: huh interesting choice
Brendon: how come?
Ryan: cause that book is so weird
Brendon: it is not!
Ryan: oh yes it is
Ryan: first off the lady looks creepy
Brendon: the illustrations were amusing
Ryan: second she kept eating animals
Brendon: she was trying to get the fly
Ryan: eating a cow is a bit excessive don't you think
Brendon: she needed it to get the dog
Ryan: Bren..
Brendon: what?!?
Ryan: nothing moving on
Ryan: third she ended up dying at the end!
Brendon: yeah.. that was... yeah okay..
Ryan: why did you like that book?
Brendon: it was fun to see how far in the book I could read with only one breath
Ryan: why would you do that?
Brendon: cause it was fun and easy when the words repeated
Ryan: well how far could you get?
Brendon: I could read up to her swallowing the dog to catch the cat before I ran out of air
Ryan: damn almost made it to the end
Brendon: I Know!
Brendon: still disappointed that I couldn't get it but it's in the past now I don't have a copy of the book anymore
Ryan: how come?
Brendon: lost it at some point in foster care
Ryan: oh.. sorry..
Brendon: nah it's alright I still got the memories :)
Ryan: okay
Brendon: we're almost done with the game
Ryan: yeah getting really close
Brendon: what's gonna happen after it's over?
Ryan: I don't know...
Brendon: oh okay
Ryan: I'd like to keep talking to you...
Ryan: if that's alright with you?
Brendon: I'd really like that
Ryan: :)

A/N:
When I talk about this book I mean the og book not the newer illustrations. This is what I grew up with! (If you don't know it you can see someone read it on youtube)

Just curious what books did you read (or your parents read to you) when you were younger? Cause I feel old bringing out this cover 😂
