I like to pen everything on lined paper, because then when I hand it to someone to read, I can say, “Read between the lines,” and give them a little wink. It makes everything seem much sneakier and implicit. Then they’ll probably say, “But the lines are small and impossible to write on, therefore everything is between the lines.” To which I will acknowledge with a second wink, and a small nudge in the ribs with my Mont Blanc pen.
Then they’ll probably say, “But this is just a grocery list.”
To which I will reply by asking, “Is it?” Then I will remind them that Cocoa Pebbles are on sale, and to buy two boxes.
