Lights Out

"What's up with your game tonight? I'm not even having fun beating you!"

"Been a long week and I'm tired of thinking. The ten hour days are killing me. I love having Monday off but don't think I'll ever get use to this schedule."

"I know but I just want to shower, eat something and crawl under the covers when I get home."

"So just do that"

"I try, but things keep popping up. Like last week, the construction outside the library made me 20 minutes late getting home. I waited through five light changes at State and Snow."

"You use to have to comute across town ma."

" I know. But then I pulled up to the underground parking garage at the apartment and my electronic key wouldnt work. Found out the electricity was out."

"So just park outside and forget about it" Q U E E N .........36 points

"You get the picture now. Huffed my way to the top of the stairs. Then I kept wandering in and out of rooms flipping switches like they were gonna work." I D I O T ........8 points

"How long were the lights off?" H O L E ........10 points

"About three hours. I lit some candles and took a quick shower so my hair would dry before I went to bed, since I couldn't use my blowdrier. Then I sat in the living room starving to death cause I couldn't even heat up the frozen soup I was gonna have."

"So why didnt you go out and get a pizza?"

"Thats what Rudy said. No way was I gonna go up and down seven flights of stairs again. Even for pizza. I'd rather starve."

"Don't suppose they'd deliver on the seventh floor either?"

"Probably not. I finally called Rudy and whined about sitting in the dark with nothing to eat."

"Bet he loved that." C R A Z Y .........17 points

"Yeah well he just laughed and reminded me that I had a gas stove."

"Oh my god mom! You're kidding. You forgot you had gas instead of electric?"

"Yeah. He found that quite amusing too. He said, "Put the soup in a pan and put it on the gas flame just like they did in the old days." Then he added, "Don't forget to plug it in Hon!"

"Why not? Just hooking on to your hole. Give me a break here. And you let me worry about wasting my tiles."

"You need a keeper not a boyfriend, Ma"

"You're probably right. Someday you'll be getting a call from poor Rudy saying I've gone missing. Just wandered off somewhere. "
