Cinnamon Fritters

Nina snoozing. Carrie Bradshaw watching Kim write...





Kim: (pauses...thinking out loud) I need a synonym for happy.

Carrie Bradshaw: I like cinnamon. It makes me happy.

Kim: "Synonym." A word similar to another word.

Carrie Bradshaw: What's "similar?"

Kim: Like.

Carrie Bradshaw: (exasperated) Then I LIKE cinnamon. That's what I said!

Kim: I don't think you quite get it. I need a word like "happy."

Carrie Bradshaw: (confused) Everyone likes to be happy. I thought...

Nina: (sleepily) Quiet, "Fluffy."

Carrie Bradshaw: Cinnamon makes me happy...I like cinnamon... so... thusly...

Kim: (finally dismissing Carrie prattle) Joyful... elated...

Carrie Bradshaw: (proudly) "The inner tube was elated!"

Kim: (begins to type once again) I think I'll use "joyful..."

Carrie Bradshaw: (trying to be helpful) Don't forget- you still need the cinnamon.

Kim and Nina: Quiet "Fluffy!"

Carrie Bradshaw: "Fluffy:" Light or airy.

Nina: Alternate definition: Having no or little intellectual weight. Superficial. Frivolous.

Carrie Bradshaw: Frivolous...Is that a synonym for fritter? Oooh! Now I want a cinnamon fritter.. (dreamily) The power of suggestion...

Nina: (rising, stretching, stalks off- to Kim) I'll be over here if you need me...

   *Slow fade as Kim wonders how she ended up here...



*Please refer to the introduction post in this blog for explanation and inspiration behind  this blog. As Nina gets older, she develops various medical problems; the more carefully I listen to what she tries to tell me, the more I can explain to the vet what is happening. And Carrie Bradshaw simply goes by her full name.
