avenue C is for Cool Cherry Chapstick
(a lesson questioned in alphabet city)
CABBIE: why do you do that?ME: do what?
CABBIE: put on chapstick.ME: because... it keeps my lips from getting chapped. being dry.
CABBIE: but i do not understand. why are your lips dry?ME: sometimes just when it's cold out or...
CABBIE: me, my lips are NEVER ever dry. never.
that's why i do not understand.
i see people use this chapppppp stick and it makes no sense to me.ME: well, um, you're lucky. that's great.
CABBIE: all day i am drinking the water. i think this is why.
do you know how much water i drink in one day?
ask me how much water i drink. go on. ask me.ME: how much water do you drink?
CABBIE: sometimes 5 glasses of water in one day! and sometimes a glass of juice. and a glass of milk. you see? this is why i do not have dry lips. all people should drink so much as me. and then no one would ever need to use the chappppp stick anymore.
