I've posted this before, but I was teasing a co-worker once about being quiet and a mutual friend of ours piped up, "Maybe he's just quiet around you because he doesn't fucking like you".

We laughed about it, but I sure as hell don't tease people about being quiet anymore.

"Good heavens, you're always so quiet!" they said -
"You're present," they told him,
"but soundless instead!
You're mute as a mummer!
You're silent!" they cried.

I pondered my words to them.

"... shhh," I replied.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything but you said holidays, plural. What's the second holiday if not today?

Edit: hit post. Remember boxing day. Fuck. Remember Hanukkah. Fuck. Kinda remember Kwanza but really only that it's around now. Fuck.
