Random stream of consciousness

A conversation between me and Audrey the other day on the phone:

D: "Hi Audrey, how are you?"

A: "I'm typing on the computer."

D: "What are you typing?"

A: "I'm typing for you. Will you come over for BBQ?"

D: "Sure. After work ok?"

A: "Will you come stay here all the time and in 5 days you could go home?"

D: "Home? That is my home. What day are we going to do BBQ? Thursday?"

A: "Yeah. I'll call you back."

D: "Why? I want to talk to you. What are you going to do today?"

A: "We're going to hang out. Will you stay here for BBQ and for the whole night?"

D: "Yes."

A: "K. Bye."
