Ive always been facinated by conversations. Overheard conversations are of course the most entertaining and sometimes to use this real or imagined can bring about stories.
Wullie... "I've no seen you for years.
A always fancied you Katie".

Wullie... "What year were you born?"
"2000"

Born. We're millennials".

Katie... "Ach a know how ye feel Wullie, I feel the same. Did you find it sore
Wullie?"

Katie... "So does yours look the same. Can I see it?"
Wullie... "Naw it's awe wrinkly and blue. Can I see yours ?"
Katie... "Naw mine"s awe wrinkly and rid and firey, like a volcano".
