Me: Hey you!
You: Hi, Nisrine…don’t call me “you”; I have a name!
Me: Of course you do…uh, sorry… it won’t happen again, I promise. By the way, have you seen how gorgeous apricots are right now?
You: Yes, I’ve noticed.
Me: Then what are you waiting for? Go grab you a pound or two while they’re in season.
You: Oh, I can’t eat a whole pound.
Me: It’s for making sorbet, silly. Hurry!!
