Sapphire has gotten to the last page of her current journal so it's time to buy a new one.
She goes looking for one at a local art fair. Maybe she'll be able to find something nice.
That's gonna be tough to beat... hmm. Houston we have a pineapple. As in somehow a pineapple appeared out of nowhere.
He laughs and Sapphire smiles.
Well that just beat me at my own game. Platypus is much better than pineapple... I'm not sure whether I prefer that or playdate though.
I think playdate is really cute, but platypus might be the funniest word. Platypus!
Yep. I agree. That's a second point for you.
I'm just realizing I haven't asked what your name is. Do you have one you'd like us to use?
Oh, I don't usually use a name. I'm the only talking notebook most people have met, so I don't tend to need one! You can just call me Notebook if you like.
Alright, I'll do that. Let me know if you change your mind. Anyway that's two points for you Notebook.
It's your turn again.
The card is P, Peppers, And either "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickles peppers" or "The Red Hot Chili Peppers"
The first is a tongue twister, something it's hard to say quickly. The second is the name of a band.
Oh, this is hard because we just did the letter P! But I think I'll pick The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and... what if, instead, it was The Red Hot Chili Parasol?
Hmm, I think I'm leaning towards mine still. Like imagine one of the shows where people do a bunch of cooking devoted to a woman who cooks a lot of spicy food.
Or a princess in a fairy tale dress made out of chili peppers! Yes, I like that one.
Yeah, I agree. I was sorta picturing The Red Hot Chili Plan as the title for a heist movie but it doesn't work quite as well.
Thanks, the next card is B Buck, More bang for your buck.
I'm not sure how clear that idiom is it usually means more value for the same amount of money or effort.
My idea is More bang for your birthday.
That's the word for the sturdy poles that stop cars from going places they shouldn't right?
Yes! And I think it might also be the word for a post you tie a boat to. I just think it's a funny word.
Hmm, I guess they bang when things crash into them? I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking or if you have a story behind that idea.
It's mostly just that I think it's a funny word. And incongruous but in a way that makes it sound like you could figure out what it meant if you thought about it.
I can think of a couple different meanings. It could be about putting Bollards in the right places or about using proper metal bollards instead of cheap plastic ones.
I feel like I'm just not coming up with good ideas. Maybe brother is better than bliss though.
