Sister: the other day I was eating an apple (not the way you seem to eat them) however, I bit right through my lip. It was a yellow one, I like those.
Simko: The mark on your lip or the apple? And thank you for casually referencing my near death apple-eating-experience
Sister: the apple u tart yes my lip turned yellow because I'm a chameleon. Naturally. Think before u type.
Simko: ...
Sister: so Mom told me you want a 3 legged dog.
Simko: HAHAHHAHhahahahahahahaha
Sister: oh I also heard u and mom are in a fight
Simko: We are?
Sister: mom told u the dog needed knee surgery. Your suggestion? Amputation. I think she then referred to u as "a cold little bitch"
Simko: First of all that poodle's knee is smaller than a ping-pong ball so $2,000 for surgery seems silly. When I made a joke about amputation her response was "when you blew your knee out we didn't cut it off." At which point I reminded her that last I checked I was not a pirate and thus needed two knees. That poodle has 3 others that work marvelously! Just saying.
Sister: WAIT It's $2,000
Simko: Ballpark
Sister: we could have the COOLEST SHIT FOR THAT PLUS A 3 LEGGED DOG
Simko: It was a JOKE but of course mom left out that detail and the one about the price when telling the story...
Sister: yup. I thought maybe $120 haha
Simko: Sorry what did you say? I was pretty busy being a cold little bitch.
