An actual conversation from Sunday, after Ray and I schlepped all my furniture over to his — our — place and were getting things oriented in "my room," which I am taking to calling "the lounge," "the reading room" and "closet overflow central."
Ray: It'd be easier to move this bookcase if the shoes weren't in the way.
Callie: What is this with you and my shoes? Because you have been after me about my shoes for, like, days now.
Ray: They're just all over the place. I just think it would be better if we got your shoe tree and put your shoes on them ...
Callie: Don't even blame the shoes. They are in discrete bags that can easily be moved into the closet and out of the way. Look (moves bag). Now, what is this thing with you and my shoes?
Ray: Well, you do have a lot of shoes ...
Callie: You don't get to judge!
Ray: Some of them look pretty crazy ...
Callie: You do not get to hate on my shoes. No. Stop right now. You do not get to go there. Now that they're moved do we get to move the bookcase?
And scene ...
