“Animal, Mineral, Vegetable?” I asked, making no effort to
hide the boredom in my voice.
“Animal!”
“Is it bigger than a breadbox?”
“What’s a breadbox?”
“Your computer then?”
“Oh… No.”
“Is it native to the region?”
“Which region?”
“This one!”
“But do you mean the state, the city, this room, what?”
“Yes, I’m asking if this animal is native to your bedroom,
exactly.”
“Darn it. Yes.”
I just stared at him for several seconds.
“You?”
“No.”
“Then… I give up.”
“Ha! It was my pet rock!”
I picked it up.
“This isn’t an animal you idiot!”
Then it bit me.
