Jennie Smash

The Donut: Jen? I have a deadline and I can’t do anything. I hate writing.

Jennie Smash: That’s because writing is loathsome.

The Donut: It is!

Jennie Smash: It’s terrible. I don’t know why we ever thought this was a good idea.

The Donut: I don’t know either.

Jennie Smash: I hate it. I’d rather have a nap.

The Donut: Me too!

Jennie Smash: Or eat a whole bag of cheese.

The Donut: I did both those things today.

Jennie Smash: Me too.

The Donut: The sleep-to-work ratio, especially, is not so bueno.

Jennie Smash: Amen.

The Donut: Can you think of any reason why we do this at all?

Jennie Smash: Despite the fact that it’s loathsome and impossible, it’s our favorite thing in the world?

The Donut: No.

Jennie Smash: Oh. Well then there’s my other theory.

The Donut: What’s that?

Jennie Smash: Writing is our version of secret cutting. It lets the pain out, and then you’re so relieved when it’s over.

The Donut: That’s really sick.

Jennie Smash: Yes.

The Donut: We belong in the hospital.

Jennie Smash: Yes.
