Larking about with Leftovers

In Marilyn‘s kitchen…

Clarissa: Love your arrangement of lemons and marigolds. Burst of yellow sunshine.

Marilyn: Fun, you know me, always fiddling with food and flowers.

Clarissa: I have a hard time throwing away even leftovers.

I did something similar with eggshells yesterday (shows a picture on her phone).

Marilyn: That's hilarious, Clarissa. Study in white.

Clarissa: No yolks.

Marilyn: No joke? Cracks me up.

Clarissa: But seriously, let’s eggschange photos of our kitchen creations.

What next, indeed. Pasta and herbs intertwined? More fruit and flower fusions?

The heat is intense

Under a tree in the park…

James: Whew, this heat is intense!

Katy: Tell me about it! It’s like we're in an oven.

James: The heat is intense. And look, the people are in tents, too.

Katy: Uh huh. Good one. Better than your usual puns.

James: Maybe the heat helps.

Katy: And maybe we should invest in a tent for our park soirées.

James: Meanwhile our tent is this tree. Natural, if not trendy.

Katy: And no competition, like no tent envy with the neighbors.

Voice-over

Gratifying that James and Katy don’t overdo the tent puns. They keep the conversational flow going without choking it with too many jokes.
