On the Topic of Toppings

Tony and Jim have been best friends

For five years. They are connected at the

Hip. Nothing has ever separated them.

A couple weeks ago, they became roommates

In an apartment to save money.

After a long night of “studying”,

The boys are hungry and craving pizza.

“Hey do you want to order some pizza?”

“Pizza sounds amazing. I am starving.”

“Aight, let me go ahead and order.”

“Hey, Tony, what do you want on the pizza?”

“Pepperoni,” Tony said dismissingly.

“Pepperoni?” Jim questioned.

“Pepperoni,” Tony replied, looking

Up at Jim, with a confused face.

“We always get pepperoni, Tony.”

“Yeah, because pepperoni is tasty.”

Tony replied, slightly irritated.

“Well, I like sausage more on my pizza.”

“So? What does that have to do with anything?”

“We always get what you want, never what

I want,” Jim replied with an upset face.

“Okay and? It is just pizza, Jim, chill.”

“It’s not just the pizza, Tony. Everything.”

“That is not even true at all, don’t lie.”

“See, but it is true Jim. It’s been like this.

We always do what you want to do.

We always eat what you want to eat.

We always go where you want to go.

We never do what I want to do.

We never eat what I want to eat.

We never go where I want to go.”

Tony stands up and closes his laptop.

“Dude, what are you even saying, that’s crazy?

I always make sure we get an even

Chance at doing what we want to do.”

“Like what? Give me some examples, please.

I would love to hear some of these said times.”

“Well, you remember that time we went to

The waterpark with Stephanie and Lucy.”

“Yeah, that was what you wanted to do with them.

I wanted to go to Six Flags, but

‘nooo Hurricane Harbor is more fun,’ so

What do we do? We go to Hurricane Harbor”
