Terrance (on phone): Um, there is a strange charge on our house acct...
Dawn (in her office): Hmmm?
Terrance: Yeah. It is for 199.99 and is National Geographic?
Dawn: Yeah. That's me. I ordered one of those Genealogy kits for myself. You know, the one I asked for in 2007 as a birthday present? I went ahead and bought it for myself with some of my tax refund money.
Terrance: (pause) Oh. Ok.
Several Days Later
Terrance (on phone): HEY! There is a crazy charge on our acct?!?!?! It is some children's store in NYC and it is for nearly 500 dollars?!?!?
Dawn (in her office): Oh, yeah. That is me. Shit. I thought I put that on my checking card. I must have used the house card by mistake. I'll transfer the money over in a second.
Terrance: Are you sure that this is yours? Someone could have cloned my card when I was in the city last week!!! It's a place called Kaaaa-miiissshhh??
Dawn: No, it's me. It's Kamishibai. Remember those cards I have for storytelling? The ones from Japan? I ordered the stage and some more story cards for my class. I want them to do some Japanese style storytelling.
Terrance: I don't know what you are talking about.
Dawn: Never mind. I will move the money over right now.
Terrance: It was 500 dollars!!!
Dawn: Yes. I am buying it out of my refund cheque.
Terrance: But it was you, right?
Dawn: Yes. It was me. The money has been transferred now.
Terrance: Because I was going to start canceling the bank cards...
Dawn: No need. Everything is fine.
