A scene

"I was just laying on the corner of the couch

when I heard a brief exchange between two people speaking in multi-levels.

Innocent: "Ma, ya wanna see my new blush?"

Mother: "No”

Innocent: "Ma, it ' s really important to me. "

Mother: "It's real important to me not to see it!"

Innocent: "Thanks a lot, Ma. See if I ever go shopping with you again.”

The innocent departs, a smile on her lips.

The mother flips another page of her romance novel.

I looked out the window.
