Me: It felt like maybe it was too obviously written for a live reading. It was mugging a little.
MMTLC: I was most interested in the relationship which is left unresolved at the end and might be kind of a cop out
Me: That strikes me as kind of a girl thing to say.
MMTLC: It is. I’m a girl. I like relationships.
Me: I’m a boy. I like wolves. I would like to remake Fried Green Tomatoes where everybody in it is a wolf.
MMTLC: But did you see that movie? They eat a person at the end. Cannibalism isn’t very girly.
