I’m sure Deena gets tired of explaining Modest to random people. It must be exhausting. She’s a good sport though. I think most parents wouldn’t bother to take their kid’s friend out if they knew it would be a hassle. I remember once going to the mall with my best friend’s family, and at the end of teh trip the dad took me aside and told me I’d never be allowed to go anywhere with them again. I didn’t even know what I had done!
Actually, found her in my neighbor’s back yard learning magic from a mermaid.
That doesn’t sound more believable, does it?
The trope where sometimes wholly telling truth of the comparatively miraculous is likely to come across as more mundane laying of lies or mistaken madness. Gotta cater to the other’s filter: dirten it down way more than a smidge, and bring it back into a less strange & more credible range.
Uh huh. Lie to make it more believable.
Ahh, best modest laugh-out-loud moment in a while! I love it. 🙂
Glad you liked it.
