The Square Root of Pi

A bit of silliness...

     Once, while experiencing technical difficulties I called her on the phone, acting like nothing big was going on and making small talk. She said my name and I paused.

     “Corey?”

     “Yes.”

     “What is the square root of Pi?”

     “Why the f**k would I know that?”

     “Exactly my point, call me back when you have something to say or when you are ready to tell me what’s wrong.”  She hung up.

     I went to the desk drawer and pulled out my calculator.  I called her back and she answered.

     “The square root of Pi is 1.77245, I lost my job and Katy died yesterday.” I hung up.

     The phone rang back immediately and I let it go to voice mail. I waited and then listened to the message. Her voice was angry and frustrated.

     “You are an ungrateful a*****e and the worst friend in the entire world…there, I hope that makes you feel better.”

     She did, she always did. I texted her a smiley emoji and a fat cat thank you sticker and told her I owed her drinks.  She sent back a flipping the bird emoji and vomit emoji.  I smiled.

Such an interchange can only ever happen between two people who know each other really, really well. The closer the friend, the greater the insult becomes no more than a gentle caress on the cheek. :))

Wow!! What a relationship!! What do these people do for fun? Whose Katy!!?? The Cat!!??

[Crowley]

A bit of silliness, I am guessing Katy was a dog, but not sure when I wrote it. Thanks for the review!!!

[Crowley]

"If that isn't love, then i don't know what is" the bunny says laughingly! well I can stop attempting to write that subject matter out you covered it i hope you didn't write one for death too or i'm gonna have to find a new hobby

[Crowley]

Thanks man!!! I have been on this site so long I think I have covered even the topics no one wants to read about...lol!!

[emmajoy]

A little banter between friends makes for buttered toast and touches of goodness ' what you get up to when joking around, Corey Crowley! ' Oh yes, you were, and, superbly well, sir you. Smiled, frowned, wondered then.. giggled at the end. Thank you for that. Now then, where's my emoji?

[Crowley]

Lol...I so love your reviews...I would give you heart emoji, lips emoji and a you make me smile sticker. thank you so much, it is great to hear from you!!!

[emmajoy]

Think we'd better just to stick with that last one, Corey.. else there'd be the inevitable whispers behind the hands' rubbish! :)

[Crowley]

Lol....so be it!!!

[lightsong]

those "silly" events which add the sweetest flavor to our daily life, You asked about the the square root of Pi and I jumped back into my collage days, collage because I love my collage days not my school days, sweet memories...

yes true friends share it like that, be like that, it was a real joy to read Your friendly experience this morning dear Crowley.

[Crowley]

Thanks luv!!!! Mine weren't college days but military days...and those were good as well, well at least the non working part of them....lol.

[lightsong]

hhhaa I bet it was the "non working part" of them ;)

[alanwgraham]

This is a quite true to life exchange between these two Crowley. There's a lot of history between the lines and insults seem a sign of affection. It does make it hard to know where the truth lies - for example losing the job and Katy dying might just be part of the mutual play insults. i wasn't too sure what ' She did, she always did.' but I am slow on the uptake.
A very witty and well observed bit of dialogue.
Regards,
Alan

[Crowley]

Not slow at all, definitely a play on knowing each other a little too well. Thanks so much for the review, I appreciate it!!!

[barleygirl]

What makes this extra special is the way you have your deep core convictions from living long & fruitfully thru your own tribulations . . . a foundation of honesty & understanding, so to speak . . . then you layer on a more intense youthful ridiculousness to illustrate the absolute mystery called communication between two longtime friends/lovers. Only you pick up on this stuff between people & then deliver it in a totally original way! Hope you're getting lots of love to keep your tootsies warm thru the holidays (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Crowley]

So much love for sure!!! Thanks Margie, you know I like to keep an eye on the emotional details and dialogue. Hope you are staying warm and cozy and snuggling in tight with the puppins!!!

[barleygirl]

I have been so frivolous & toasty these brisk mornings, I already need to order another half cord of oak to get thru winter . . . (ahhhh!)

[Crowley]

Well I would let you borrow my morning wood, but the wife might miss it....

[barleygirl]

you tease . . .

[Lyn Anderson]

Sometimes, the best help is none at all -- if it comes from the right person.

[Crowley]

So true, Thanks Lyn!!! Hope your Holidays are good so far!

[Fran Marie]

Ain't that it..that's just the way the fat cat pounces or ball bounces sometimes in life..
cute nonsense write..

[Crowley]

Thanks Fran!!!
