Scene: Katie is successfully buying the perfect sweater at JCPenney. Female clerks 1 and 2 are discussing a boy that Clerk 2 once had two classes with.
Clerk 1: (ringing up Katie’s purchase) Hey, do you know [star football player from local high school]? Have you heard of him?
Katie: Yeah, of course.
Clerk 1: (surprised) Really?
Clerk 2: (surprised and excited) Really?
Katie: Yeah, I went to [local high school] and I’ve gone to a few of their games this year.
Clerk 2: (dreamily) He’s my husband.
Clerk 1: Whatever.
Katie: I hear he’s a really nice guy.
Clerk 2: Yeah. What year did you graduate?
Katie: ‘02.
Clerk 2: That’s…uh…uh…a long time ago. (goes back to folding clothes)
Seventeen-year-olds are so charming.
