Anthony: [sighing]
Me: Why are you sighing?
Anthony: I sense the possibility of a difficult conversation.
Me: That’s weird because I had a horrible dream last night that while I was in Europe you found another girlfriend called Anna and, when I returned you invited me to the farm to meet her. I was broken-hearted and insanely jealous but I decided to behave with dignity until it came time for me to leave, or Anna to leave. It was obvious that you wanted me to leave so you rang Ming to pick me up and take me home to my mother’s place. It was a dream filled with shock after shock.
Anthony: It was just a dream, Jules.
Me: Do you know an Anna?
Anthony: I have never known any Annas, my darling!
Me: Are you laughing at me?
Anthony: [spluttering] No!
Me: Then why did you call me your darling so sarcastically?
Anthony: Because you seem to be jealous of a nonexistent girlfriend [sipping]
Me: Are you drinking?
Anthony: There’s an angel around here called Anna but I’ve never met her.
Me: Good segue, Ants. Are you drinking?
Anthony: All right, yes, but its just just a tipple from God’s cellar; it’s non-alcoholic but it helps us all to fly when we need to.
Me: What a lot of rubbish!
Anthony: What’s really the matter, Jules?
Me: Well, for some reason, that horrible dream made me change my mind.
Anthony: About what?
Me: The book idea. I want to do it after all but not yet. Also, I want to make it a really short book, not the tome I originally imagined and in the meantime I am practicing my childhood cartooning skills and I have to say I am rather talented!
Anthony: That’s good, Jules.
Me: “That’s good, Jules” – is that the best you can do?
Anthony: Sorry, Jules, one of the new angels just offered me another drink.
Me: Is her name Anna?
Anthony: As a matter of fact it is! What a coincidence.
Me: OMG so I was right!
Anthony: She dances like a butterfly from person to person here but she is apparently 3,000 years old and looks like a moth.
Me: Oh I hate moths! Ugghh!
Anthony: You only had that strange dream because you miss us.
Me: You’re right.
