“I Am a Writer!”

I’m only about two days late to post.  But, as they say, better late than never.  Right?  (Then again, maybe I should’ve saved this for next week when I’d be on time so people will know to come look at it… Oh well.)

 She appeared, distraught, at his door.  “Sorry to bother, but may I borrow your phone?  And a pen, too?”
“Sure!” he said, retrieving his cellphone.
“I’ll get the pen,” his guest offered to help.
“Already got it.”
“How?!”
Striking his superhero pose, “I am a writer!” he declared triumphantly. “It was in my pocket.”

Story behind the story:

Is that really necessary this time?  Oh, alright…  I know a writer who also happens to be a former Boy Scout.  And you know how Boy Scouts like to Be Prepared.  (You never know when you’ll need to write something.  I guess.)  So he had a pen in his pocket when a pen was needed.  On the other hand, I was going to get one out of my purse or off of his desk.  To be honest, I didn’t really have a plan.  I was just trying to look helpful.  I guess he didn’t really mean to look like a superhero… it just came across that way.  And I suppose I shouldn’t have laughed at him.  But it just came out… that way… *mumble*
