Me: I know.
Primo: So I talked to people about it last night at the Party Prom. They suggested I have a neighborhood blitz next week to collect nominating signatures.
Me: OK.
Primo: You're not going to like this.
Me: What?
Primo: I'm going to have people come here.
Me: What?!
Primo: I am going to have them come here to get the clipboards and the sheets.
Me: Oh. Lord.
Primo: And then I thought I might grill some hot dogs.
Me: Which means you will need plates and condiments and people will be in the house.
Primo: Not necessarily! Hot dogs are finger food!
Me: Not. Really.
Primo: They are!
Me: I am not going to be a part of this.
Primo: But---!
Me: Do what you want. But I will not be visible. I am not a part of this. This is not how I want to spend my Sunday afternoon and I don't want to play hostess. I don't care if you do this, but I am not a part of it.
Even when hot dogs are fingerfood, you still need condiments and a napkin to wrap it in. And an extra napkin to wipe your hands.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if you're going to be handling stainable things like paper on clipboards.
It's all in the little details.
