Mimsy's mouth hung open in a cheerful smile with her tongue hanging slightly out the side. Most of the time she resembled an overgrown puppy, and her excitement about decorations wasn't helping the matter. Even though staring at the lights was tempting, she forced herself to look at Rosie while she was talking. There was something about the way Rosie said stuff that just made it sound that much more awesome. Her head shifted to one side as it often did when she was contemplating something.

"'Calico cat in her Sunday best.' Where do you learn stuff like that?" Mimsy asked with a giggle. It was a sincere question, actually, thought it may not have come off as one. She was genuinely fascinated by Rosie's mannerisms, and her query about them was innocent curiosity.

"Wait!" she said, bright blue eyes growing wide. "Did you say coffee? I love coffee!" If she weren't sitting down, she would probably be hopping in place again. Her friends at school didn't let her have coffee anymore, not since... Well, she wouldn't have to tell Rosie about that, now would she?



I'm just here flying off the deep end.
I'm just here to become the best yet.
I'm just here for the psych assessment.
I'm just here for the, for the...

((I'm sorry for such a long wait! T_T I've been visiting someone important to me, and when we're not working we end up spending a lot of time together. I keep forgetting to post like a dorkus.))

For a moment, Rosie paused in her thinking about the lights to ponder Mimsy's question. Well, where did she learn her sayings? She knew her pa had taught her some of them--"Well butter my tail and call me a biscuit!" was his particular favorite--some of them she swore she'd made up on her own. Why? Was she intentionally trying to sound twee and charming? Well... yes, when she thought about it, but she was guileless about it. She just did it because it was fun and made conversations more interesting.

"Yanno, Ah ain't certain where Ah git it from," she said. "Ah know my pa taught me some good sayin's. Like 'more frightened than a cat at a rocking chair convention' or 'butter my tail and call me a biscuit,' but some of them... well, shoot, Ah guess Ah made 'em up! Ah guess... Ah guess it's kinda like a game to me! To come up with somethin' funny! But it's gotta get the point across? Ah guess you could say it's kinda a way of challengin' myself to speak the best Ah can! Helps me slow down so Ah don't plum tie my own tongue in knots! Pa always said Ah talked like I had ten tongues instead'a one!"

Rosie chuckled. "Ah don't usually take coffee so late, but it does sound awful good! Ah know a little place. Let's go git ourselves cozy!"

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!
