“Ooh! Ooh!”
“What is it?!”
“Next time we’re
on the phone
together remind
me we should play
Nova Scotia!”
“Ohh kay. . .
And how
does one play
Nova Scotia?”
“K, well, um,
first of all, one
cannot play
Nova Scotia.
Cuz it’s a game.
It requires at least
two.”
“But anyway.”
“It’s so fun
all we have
to do is just
say it over
and over
over again
together
like this:
‘Nova Scotia!
Nova Scotia!
Nova Scotia!
Nova Scotia!’”
[after a beat,
with a bit of
trepidation or
skepticism,
and slowly]
“Nova
Scotia . . ?”
