Oh, my back is killing

Last Thursday Billy called me and he asked me if I wanted to go dancing. |

Edna: |
Dancing? That’s great. |

Not really. We went to this
great club and as
soon as we started dancing I tripped and
fell down. I really hurt myself. |

Oh my god! What did Billy say? |

He asked me if I was ok. When I
said that I wasn’t
he asked whether I needed to go to

I just went home and went
straight to bed. I was
so embarrassed. |
