You wouldn't have heard me if you'd screwed the lid on to the jar of pickles in the refrigerator.

[pagekaren]

Honestly I'm more upset about the fact that you pick jars up by the lids than the 3 AM food runs.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I'm more disturbed by the fact you don't feel it necessary to secure lids.

[pagekaren]

I live alone and I know better than to whip jars around by the lid.
You have no grounds on this one, counselor.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I should have the reasonable assumption of lid security, Ms. Page. That's an inalienable right.

[pagekaren]

On your own lids, sure.
Not on the lids you're breaking in at 3 AM to gain access to.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

On all lids, everywhere, for all time. That is the right of lid security.

[pagekaren]

Have you branched out into practicing lid law?

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Your use of lids is criminal so it slots right in my with my speciality.

[pagekaren]

Maybe I should just lean into this lid criminal thing.
Start playing roulette with the lids on the morning coffee cups.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

So now your criminality extends to sabotaging a blind man? Have you no shame?

[pagekaren]

I have very little shame.
It helps that I know that this particular blind man has a real nose for coffee and can pick out which cup is suspicious.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I still reiterate that this is going to fail spectacularly because I'm not the one who'll grab the wrong cup, spill all over and then swear like a sailor.

[pagekaren]

I could go full roulette. Put something that's not scalding hot in the loose lid cup.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I can feel the heat in the air, you know.

[pagekaren]

Oh, I know.
I've always assumed that's at least part of the reason why I can never lie to you.

[Other than just being a miserable liar in general.]

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Some. Not all of the reason.

[pagekaren]

Well, I know the heart beat thing is the bulk of it.
What else is there?

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

That would be telling.

[pagekaren]

I could make an argument that would just be evening the playing field considering everything you can figure out about me.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

It'd be nothing you could control anyway.

[pagekaren]

I know. I'm not interested in trying to control it.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

There are about a half dozen tells on someone when they lie.

[pagekaren]

Do you like being able to read them?

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

It's all kind of in the same bucket as everything. It's hard to say like or dislike. It's just sort of there, you know?
