She’s always done this.

She talks to the T.V. as if it was a person.

 

Perhaps she is lonely?

No, that can’t be it, I’m sitting right next to her.

 

“Are you even listening to me?”

I didn’t know she was talking to me,

I’m too focused on the movie.

 

In a way it is cute,

But an hour in, it gets old.

 

I’m used to her loud mouth

Explaining every single action of an intense scene.

 

All you have to say is “Mhmm,”

Just for her reassurance,

And just for her sanity.
