Toni Flashcards
Kara: sure he did. I hate to sound conceited, but the guys have been staring at me all evening.
Toni: what an imagination! It’s your little routine again. You imagine yourself as the center of the universe.
Kara: what good looking girl doesn’t? It’s not that I place myself in that position. It’s the fault of all the males at this place. They’re the ones that stare at me, ogling my pretty face and my symmetrical features. I can’t help being the center of attention any more than a great athlete can stop his fans from adoring him.
Toni: people stare at circus animals too Kara it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re attracted to them.
Kara: you’re hilarious Toni, but while you play the clown, I’m the one attracting all the guys
Toni: what guys? We’ve been walking around this fairground for the last hour. Other than the ones we know, not one of these “heart stricken” males has come up to us
Kara: I know. It’s rather sad, but girls like me intimidate some boys.
Toni: that is sad, Kara. You would think at least one of these “love-sick” boys would have the courage to approach you.
Kara: you’d think! I notice it doesn’t stop them from staring though.
Toni: who? Point him out! I can’t see 1 guy staring at us.
Kara: that’s because their not staring at us. They’re staring at me!
Toni: let’s have examples, I don’t see a shred of evidence to support what you’re saying
Kara: look around
Toni: I am… So is everyone else. They’re looking at the exhibits. Of course, everyone glances at us as we pass, but that’s only natural.
Kara: no Tony, he was looking at me!
Toni: you’re crazy. He didn’t even glance in your direction.
Kara: it’s that extra split second that makes hold their gaze with me. I’ve always had that power.
Toni: I think you’ve always been delusional. Tell me, what other fictional events have you noticed throughout your lifetime?
Kara: well, lately, I’ve noticed that I hang around an idiot friend that doesn’t know what she’s talking about
Toni: fine Kara. Think whatever you want.
Kara: there! Did you see?
Toni: what? What?
Kara: that guy! As he was walking past, he stared at me… And smiled
Toni: maybe he was smiling at the baby lambs over there at the petting zoo. Anyway, I didn’t see anything.
Kara: well, I assure you, he smiled at me, not some dumb animal. I think you’re just jealous that I manage to catch the eye of every cute guy.
Toni: jealous - ha! The only possible reason the guys would be staring at you instead of me is that were at a fair, and you naturally look like you belong in the freak show
Kara: I wouldn’t mention freak shows while you’re wearing that outfit, Toni. Have you been getting up early on Saturdays to hit the garage sales?
Toni: don’t have to, Kara, as long as I can borrow your clothes
Kara: funny Toni.
Toni: I wasn’t trying to be. Look closely friend I’m wearing one of your outfits.
Kara: what? Oh… Yeah. I didn’t notice. I guess it just looks different on you somehow.
Toni: not quite as good?
Kara: no… Not quite.
Toni: I thought so. Come on kara, I’m tired of the guy-watch. Let’s hit some rides. This money is burning a hole in my pocket.
Kara: rides are for kids. We’re doing something more important
Toni: walking around the fair,? Doesn’t seem too important to me.
Kara: okay… Okay. Let’s just wait until we pass this one guy I’ve been scoping out
Toni: which one is that?
Kara: I know you’ve seen him. He’s really cute. He has short brown hair, and we’ve passed by him at least 10 times. He’s probably passing us on purpose. Last time we passed each other, he was walking with a friend. Maybe you can grab himZ the friend wasn’t very cute but he’ll be ok for you
Toni: oh, thank you so much for your charity Kara, if you throw the rest of sandwich away can I have that too?
Kara: okay, Toni I get the drift. I just thought it would be fun if we all hung out together.
Toni: I’ll survive thanks.
Kara: Toni! There he is! There’s my man!
Toni: the one in the yellow shirt?
Kara: that’s him! My guy is cute isn’t he?
Toni: he really is, too bad he’s not really your guy.
Kara: he will be. He’s up ahead, looking around… Probably trying to find me.
Toni: maybe he’s lost Kara.
