Conversation About Ripening

“Hey Joyce, I heard your son is turning fifteen tomorrow. He’s getting big isn’t he?”

“Well sure, he’s getting big, but...”

“But what?”

“To be honest, I’m not sure he’s ripening correctly.”

“Oh dear, I’m sure you’re just overreacting. Why, I remember how I was totally convinced that Lester was still unripe when I started dating him.”

“It’s just that he still acts so green and hard-headed.”

“You’ve been putting ripening agents in his shampoo bottle, right?”

“No! I’m all organic after what happened to Kelli’s son.”

“I don’t know Joyce, I think there’s something to the science behind it.”
