I was combing Gwen's hair this morning while she and Xavier were eating breakfast. Out of the blue, she said, "My relationship with Bethany is ... interesting."
Given the abruptness of the comment, Xavier and I laughed. Then I said, "You know, that sounds like the first sentence in the first chapter of a novel ..."
Gwen said, "Yeah, a novel called My Relationship With Bethany."
"No, that would be too obvious ... it would need to be more complicated than that ..."
"Yeah," commented Xavier. "It should be something like How to Kill a Blue Jay."
(I should note that Gwen does not have a bad relationship with Bethany, just, evidently, an interesting one.)
