Sisters

My sister comes in.

"Hey, did you use the iTunes card Mami gave you for Christmas?"

"Erm....yes, but I forgot the login...and password...and e-mail address. I didn't actually get a chance to buy anything with it."

"..."

"Please don't laugh."

"Alright, well would you like to buy mine?"

"Um...sure. If I had any money."

"Oh. Alright."

*tinkers on guitar*

"Well, would you like to buy it for ten dollars?"

"If I had ten dollars, maybe."

"Well, how much money do you have?"

"Absolutely nothing. I think there's a dollar on the bookshelf and maybe three dollars in quarters if you look around the room hard enough."

"Oh. Because I want to go pickup my paycheck, but I don't want to run out of gas. And I'm out of gas money."

"You could ask Mami for ten dollars."

"Yeah, but I don't want to. I can't really afford to pay her back."

"Well, you could ask Mami for ten dollars. And then I could ask Mami for ten dollars and buy the gift card, and then you can pay her back for her ten dollars."

"We're terrible. I can see it now: 'Hey Mami, can I borrow ten dollars? V     also wants to borrow ten dollars, but you can just hold onto that.'"

"Yeah, and then you just give me the gift card. Doesn't look as good, though, does it. Either way she loses ten dollars."

"Yeah. Other ideas?"

"You could just tell her that I want to borrow ten dollars. Then I'll tell her you want to borrow ten dollars. You give me the gift card, give her back twenty dollars, and not go anywhere."

"..."

"Or you could just tell her that I want to borrow ten dollars."

"Really? That's great, I'll go do that!"

"...I was sort of kidding, but sure, go ahead."

"Thanks!"
