N announced that he wants to become more sociable to practice for his job interview and is willing to accompany me to social occasions.
“Which social occasions?” I asked. “I don’t have any social occasions beyond the coffee hour at church.”
“Well, we went to that party, remember?”
“Which party?”
“I don’t know. But it was a nice party. There were people.”
“What was the occasion?”
“How should I know? There were those gay dudes.”
“Ah! The 2023 Chairs’ retreat at the Dean’s house?”
“If you say so. We could go to that one again.”
