Another one: “She shrugged her shoulders in the cold November wind.”

Lately, if I drop in to visit my dad, he’s listening to these strange romance-y stories on his phone, & he swears they’re not AI but the one he was listening to today included the sentence, “She was 23 then: fresh from Stanford & bursting with ideas about innovation & sustainable technology.”

I honestly didn’t see them/blocked them out until you mentioned them.

Octopus is like: “A lot octopi like tentacles. Me? I prefer a ruffled peplum.”

& cause a scandal & ruin my chance at becoming a gold medal figure skating champion? Dream on!

“I mean, but sad.,” I said, convincing no one.

Serving.

Sort of managing a situation now because I said, “Oh my God, break up. It’s so fun.,” a LITTLE too fast to a friend.
