what if-- the words aren’t funny, but-- they tell a story? *gasp!* and what if the conversation-- is at a high level-- (the lady at the gathering of “the exotics”, me and all the other kids who’d been sorted and grouped up and who all had some kind of “gifted and talented” and who were being eyeballed very closely and proudly and preciously by the other lady that was running the groups, was kind of messing with me, winkingly, and i grinned cuz i appreciated her irony. Yeah... what if, indeed!?)
