“Just gonna check my fools’ work. I mean school work.”
10:47 Amazon (but not Amazon) phone again.
“Why do they keep phoning?”
“Because they know you’re notorious for being utterly stupid and being taken in by scammers and losing us money.”

12:54 Joel is suspicious.
“What’s this you’ve made me?”
“Hotpot.”
“You’re feeding me pot? Which is hot?”
12:57 Joel is still suspicious about his meal.
“What’s this?”
“What does it look like?”
“A green vegetable.”
“It’s probably a leek.”
“I’m not eating that.”

“Why am I in a lesson?”

“I heard that.”

“Oh I can’t remember now. Just ignore me.”
“Can I?”
