Call Me Mello Jell-O
Let's see. We've talked about the Jell-O Bath Idea. The Jell-O Bath Hurdles that would need to be overcome. And we've had some background on the nice girls from (almost) next door.
I'm not sure exactly how we reached the end of the following story so it may be fictionalized a bit. But, it's what we're going to go with.
Alan and I were at the girls' apartment and, I want to say, he asked how the Jell-O bath project was going.
Lisa and Big Carol were in the room. Big Carol, I think (as much to give her a speaking part as anything else) asked what the Jell-O Bath project was. Lisa may have made the inquiry.
I explained the idea of filling a bathtub with Jell-O and then climbing into it. When asked why I'd want to do something like that I further explained that I wouldn't want to do it alone, I'd have a girl with me.
"I'll get in with you," said Lisa. And she said it so fast, in such a way, and I knew so much about how she was, that I knew she didn't understand exactly what I was talking about.
"What do you think we'd be wearing in a Jell-O bath?" I asked. (The being a guy part of me, while trying to keep a low profile, couldn't be held totally back. So there was that small, hopeful, bit of me that thought maybe we were on the same Jell-O bath page.)
"Bathing suits," she said as if there could be no other possible answer.
Right now you're thinking well, that was the end of that.
I encourage you to tune in Monday.
(I wish I could look back in time to that moment when Lisa said, "I'll get in with you" because I'd swear the conversation was more, "We'll" (both girls) "get in with you." But every time I hear that conversation in my mind it's accompanied by a really bad jazz soundtrack.)
