Nancy: Hi jazzy!
Me: Hi nancy!
me: This is so cool! We are communicating from miles away
Nancy: It’s amazing, isn’t it? They also have those big box things now that keep your food frozen so you don’t have to go grocery shopping every day.
me: My wagon horses will be glad to hear that. I’ve got something to send you. I just need motivation to do it.
Nancy: yeah, me too. Maybe I’ll stop by the pony express and drop it off next time i get out to the general store.
me: Can’t wait! I can’t afford the pony express so you’ll just have to wait for the passenger pigeon to bring it to you.
Me: Can pigeons really deliver messages? They seem so dumb.
Nancy: I think they do. It doesn’t take that much intelligence to go back and forth between two places, does it? The way they bring food back to their nests.
Me: True. I suppose they just need one route, like a monorail, not a taxi.
Nancy: You mean steam engine?
Me: Yes, of course.

Nancy: So does that mean my gift is really small? Bummer.
Me: It’s pigeon-sized.
Nancy: Pigeons can fly with 200% of their body weight? Impressive.
Me: The gift is a pigeon.
nancy: I was afraid of that.
