Hello?

Zoe called me on Sunday to ask something like, “How do you make the cream in cream-filled cupcakes stay thick?” First I guessed agar. Then I guessed marshmallow. Then we both squealed our goodbyes and hung up our respective phones. This made me lonesome for the olden days when you could startle people by staying on the line after they hung up, and blurting “HABADEEBAHDAAH!” when they picked up the phone again.
