I don’t get it.
Get what?
The decor in your bedroom.
You have something against Amish style furniture?
No.
Queen size beds?
What?
I don’t understand. what’s beyond your comprehension. It’s a fairly standard bedroom. Maybe a little messier than some.
I thought you were an atheist.
Yeah, so? I’m not allowed to decorate if I’m an atheist?
So what’s with the God wall?
It’s more of a wall of superstition.
Madonnas and saints?
And a few crosses. Maybe an ankh.
In your bedroom.
They go with the color scheme. They’re shiny. They’re aesthetically pleasing.
You don’t think it’s weird for an atheist to have a whole wall full of religious art in the most personal room in her house?
Not really. It would be weird for me to have a Bible or a rosary on my bedside table. It would be weird for me to say my prayers at night or go to church on Sunday. Art is just art. Some of it is superstition–Chinese lucky coins, and Middle Eastern evil eye charms…
I didn’t notice those.
You’ll never get afflicted by the evil eye in MY bedroom! I have protection.
It’s not like I have been in there a lot.
I didn’t remember you being in there at all!
I got the quick tour, but I wasn’t invited to stay.
Don’t make me bite you. You’ve had opportunity, but no motivation.
That doesn’t seem accurate.
No? In what way?
Well…
Right.
It’s complicated.
No, I think it’s pretty simple. The cat wouldn’t like giving up his spot anyway.
That’s why you’ve never invited me? Because of the cat?
I’ve never invited you? Really? Are you sure about that?
Not in so many words…
I think I am going to have to call bullshit on that.
You’re probably right.
Not probably.
So you’re officially inviting me?
I will stop at the stationary store and get an invitation tomorrow.
There’s no need to be a smart ass about it.
When am I not a smart ass?
When you’re praying?
Dork.
Heathen.
Chicken.
Am not.
Bet I made you flinch.
Bet I can make you…
What? Ohhh–prove it!
