I didn’t forget to smile today, I just have a serious story I wanna tell. Truth be told, I was a little worked up last night.
I work matinee on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday an’ the night show Tuesday and Friday. The folk at the day show are more interested in the stories and facts about the history.
On Tuesday an’ Friday, Merritt comes at the end o’ the show and walks me back to the ‘partment, ‘cept now days, Merritt and Devon both come normally.
Last night, just when we was wrapping up, a history teacher from Texas wanted to ask some questions about milk churning, so Addison went on to the dressing room ‘head o’ me. When I got outta my costume and got to the green room, she was in there talking to Merritt and Devon, and I sure didn’t care for the conversation.
She was going on about what kind of underwear they liked to see girls wearing. “So, if a girl walked through the room, would you rather her be wearing a thong or cute lace brief?”
Merritt seemed embarrassed, but not too much to answer. “Seems like the thong would be out of place for just lounging around the common room watching TV.”
She shrugged. “Maybe not… How about a baggy tank top or a tight t-shirt?”
Devon closed his eyes and shook his head. “Addison, sounds to me like baggy would be more comfortable. It would be up to whatever the girl wants to wear.”
After that, she looked at me. “Emma, what do you like to wear when you’re just lounging around before bed with the boys?”
I tol’ her. “Usually a tank top or t-shirt and my jeans or shorts. Now an’ then, I wear a robe o’er top if there’s a chill. Or a hoodie.”
She smiled. “So just regular boring things.”
Merritt looked at me, then at her. “Just regular, full stop. Nothing dramatic.”
Then, she said, “Well, when we all live together, maybe a little drama will be good.”
We said bye and on the way home, Merritt said, “Don’t worry about all that stuff. She was just talking goofy.”
I don’t know what to make of his remark. An’ I wish Hannah had been there to weigh in on what she was saying.
