JILL: Hey Dish. Need your help.
Me: Sure. What’s up?
JILL: It’s Natalie.
Me: I just saw her.
JILL: Then you saw that we need to do an intervention.
Me: WHAT? For NATALIE? Can you talk now?
JILL: No, I’m in a full car. Jack’s driving +kids.
Me: What’s going on? Sounds serious.
JILL: It is. It’s her fake eyelashes. Somebody needs to tell her she looks like Tammy Faye on Adderall.
JILL: You’re good at this, Dish. You’re the one who told us about our mustaches. Remember?
Me: I’m not going to say I don’t know what you’re talking about. But this is different. She‘s into her lashes. Nobody but Tom Selleck wants a mustache.
JILL: It’s perception drift.
Me: What?
JILL: Perception drift. This.
Dish: Got it. Speaking of. Did you know Tammy Faye is coming to Broadway?
JILL: Perfect! I’ll get tickets for the three of us.
Dish: In! Music by Elton John! Idea: I propose that we “all“ get over-the-top lashes “for the show.”
JILL: Brilliant.
Dish: Bc maybe she’s fully aware. Has busted out a midlife move and enjoys the outrageousness.
JILL: Good point. Who knows, maybe they’ll be so fun I’ll decide to keep them!
Dish: Me too. Our 60’s pivot. We could become the Tammy Fayettes. Try out to be back-up singers for Elton John cover bands.
JILL: Don‘t Go Breaking My Heart.
