She called her friend because nobody else was home and she wasn’t ready to stop talking about it just yet. So they talked about it. And then they talked about other things: their rate of sick leave accrual at work, the weather in Florida, the precise size and weight of healthy and unhealthy egos, and how cool it would be if they could put mini versions of each other in their pocket and walk around with a best friend they could pull out whenever they felt like and say “Hey! Let’s go get some food.”
