Conversations With Ima

El Chapo: Hey, Zelda, I heard some people weren't too happy with your little joke yesterday.

Zelda: (nonchalantly) Oh, really? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Ima: (chuckles) You tell 'em, Zelda! No one can take a joke these days.

El Chapo: Yeah, I agree. But you know how it is, some people just don't have a sense of humor.

Zelda: (smirks) Yeah, some people take themselves way too seriously.

Ima: (grinning mischievously) Speaking of jokes, have I ever told you guys about the time I switched my friend's sugar with salt?

El Chapo: (laughing) Oh, that's a classic prank. How did they react?

Ima: (chuckles) Let's just say they were pretty salty about it.

Zelda: "Hey Ima, have you heard the latest news? Leigha told Doug he has a problem."

Ima: "Oh boy, where do we even start with this one?"

Zelda: "Well, for one, he's over fifty. I'm sure Leigha is kicking us out of the room for a reason."

Ima: "Whoa, let's not go there. She probably kicked us out because you were jumping on the bed and doing high dives off the headboard."

Zelda: "Ha! That's true. But still, you can't deny that Doug is not getting any younger and does have a lot of problems."

Ima: "I know, it's hard to pin-point what she could have been referring to."

Zelda: "She said he talks to himself."

Ima: "He doesn't talk to himself that much. He talks to us a lot. Maybe she's just jealous of our conversations."

Zelda: "Ha! I bet you're right. Maybe we should start a support group for Doug and call it 'The Over Fifty and Still Talking to Yourself Club.'"

Ima: "I'm in! Let's make it happen. We'll have meetings every week and share our best self-talk tips."

Zelda: "And we can have a potluck too! Doug can bring his famous baked beans and we'll have a good time."

Ima: "Sounds like a plan! Let's make Doug feel better and show Leigha that talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence!"
