Sustenance For the Afternoon

    "Oh'm'gosh I am famished!" Brittany said.

    "Finished with what? I could shop all day!" Kimberly replied.

    "Not finished, famished. Ahh you're such a donut sometimes!" Brittany corrected her best friend.

    "Ahh oh'm'gosh, I totally misheard you, and I totally am! And I totally wish I could have one!" Kimbery said, realizing how hungry she was after all of their shopping.

    Then from a bakery down the street walked Chelsea, their other best friend, and in her hand, she held a box.

    "Chelsea! Ahhh! Oh'm'gosh that smells soooo good! Like, what is it!" The first two squealed simultaneously. Then Chelsea opened the box and revealed three giant donuts.

    "Hey girls, look what I brought us! It's from Life Ring's down the street. Daddy just opened the shop to supply our yacht, and of course as another business venture."

    Brittany and Kimberly looked at each other, incredulous. "But we can't like, actually have one. That's so many calories! I think Mediterranean Salad just switched over to their lunch menu, let's go there!"

    "Oh no." Chelsea stopped them. "These aren't regular donuts. These are salad donuts, freshly made. You have to try them!"

    Again, Brittany and Kimberly looked at each other, then grinned, and grabbed a donut and took a big bite. With lettuce hanging out of their mouths, they groaned at the deliciousness of their sustenance for the afternoon. When they had each finished their donuts, Brittany said "Now I'm finished."

    "Well duhh, I can see that. Now you're the do-- Oh'm'gosh I totally get it!" Kimberly said. The two of them laughed, then proceeded to explain to Chelsea the verbal catastrophe that had occurred before she arrived.

    "Oh'm'gosh that's. So. Funny!" she replied. "Who's ready for more shopping?"

    For a third time Brittany and Kimberly looked at each other then said, "We are!" And once again, the three friends locked arms and strutted down the shop-lined avenue.
