Merweh!

One dark Friday night, I heard a tiny voice.

“Merweh!” it said softly.

“Huh?” I replied.

“Mph!” it uttered, a little louder.

Claudette had been so frightened by the scary movie we were watching she had hid under the blanket. I explained to her that it was just a film. Ashamed at having shown herself to be a scaredy-cat, she resolved to learn to like scary movies. We decided to see one per week and then engage in discourse to reinforce that it was not in fact real, because real things are “discussed” or “talked about” and do not require such an academic process as “discourse.” Summaries of said discourse will be reproduced here so that when Claud gets scared, she can go online and recall her bravery.
