French Toast

A Facebook wall-to-wall chat after a texting chat in which I told my cousin I was going to have French Toast for breakfast
Me: Feel better soon cousin! P.S. I ended up not making french toast. I figured you would want to know ;)
Cousin: Of course I want to know - that was the most exciting thing I heard all day, and sadly, you KNOW that's the truth.
Me: Oh hey, so there was a twist ending - I ended up making french toast for dinner! It's like the excitement of my life never ends...
Cousin: I can't take your never ending drama!

Friend: I'm going to try to detoxify my body this Ramdan.
Me: Me too!
Friend: I'm going to have a boiled egg in the morning. . .
Me: Uh huh (nodding in agreement)
Friend: And then I'm going to drink coconut water.
Me: You're on your own buddy.
