Auntie one sentence

John enters the living room after a long commute from New York involving an over crowded train and mad Parkway drive.. Aunt Margaret is seated in a chair as the Irish lace curtains blow in the ocean breeze. John flops in the chair across from her.

Aunt Margaret in one breath

Aunt Margaret in another breath

Aunt Margaret

John

Is there zebra meat in it?

Aunt Margaret

Of course not. How your mind works.

John
I think I'm losing my mind.
