Daily Dialogue — March 21, 2016

Jefferson “Jake” Edward Briggs: [narrating] My inability to impregnate Kristy was blamed on tight shorts, having something to do with my body temperature. Seemed rather flimsy to me. To go through the hell of a fertility check and discover that my preference in undergarments was to blame seemed as silly and pointless as everything else in my life.
Kristen “Kristy” Briggs: Jake? Jakey? My temperature’s just right. This is the perfect time! Where are you? Can you hurry?
Jefferson “Jake” Edward Briggs: [narrating] Hiding from my wife, hiding from my manly obligation, our love nest had become a stud farm.
