"You already told me that story," said Shanice. She looked genuinely disappointed. I laughed awkwardly. "Sorry," I said, "I didn't mean to bore you with a rerun." I tried to laugh it off but
she just wouldn't let it go. "Don't you even consider your listener before you tell a story?" she
inquired harshly. This caught me off guard. I replied, "I'm just trying to keep you entertained,
Shanice." I said. She smacked me down with another sharp comment, "Yeah, well, you should
try harder."
