Misplaced Mother Mendez

[Jeremy Paterson]

Overheard sometime in the morning...

That kid with a third eye says: "Wow, Diego's been pretty stressed lately, huh?"

Jeremy replies: "Oh, yeah. He was telling me that Longbow kidnapped his mom and won't give her back!"

Three eyes, skeptically: "Are you sure that's what he said?"

Jeremy: "Absolutely! He's pretty upset about it, too!"


Overheard sometime in the afternoon...

The girl the forked tongue says: "Hey Jeremy! What's up with your roommate? He's acting kinda weird again."

Jeremy: "Oh, he's upset because Longbow lost his mom."

Forked-tongue, skeptically: "They lost her? Are you sure?"

Jeremy: "Yeah! They put her someplace secret and now can't remember where it was so they can't give her back to Diego. He's pretty mad at them!"
