May Day!

Me: May Day is coming soon!
AE: What's the big deal about May Day?
Me: It's just a nice day where you mysteriously give flowers to people.
AE: Mysterious? Good. Flowers? YUCK.
Me: Aw come on! It's fun.
AE: Convince me.
Me: Well, you put a bouquet of flowers on someone's porch, ring the doorbell, run away, and then watch the confused look on their face when they open the door and see the pretty gift!
AE: *Pondering something*
Me: (Seeing the look on my alternate ego's face) Uh-oh. What are you thinking?
AE: You know... if you left something gross on their porch, like dog poo or moldy cheese, you'd get a confused AND disgusted look!
Me: That's--
AE: --even better!
Me: I was going to say horrible before you so RUDELY interupted me.
AE: Rude is my middle name.
Me: No it's not.
AE: Is too.
Me: Is not!
AE: Is too!
Me: You're my alternate ego! You have the same middle name as me!
AE: Elizabeth??? Yuck!
Me: I like it.
AE: It's so...
Me: What?
AE: Girly.
Me: Nope.
AE: Old fashioned.
Me: Yes, but that's one thing I like about it.
AE: So you wouldn't mind having the middle name... Agnes?
Me: Ew! Of course I would!
AE: But, that's old fashioned...
Me: Yeah but... I don't like it.
AE: You are so hard to understand.
Me: Anyway, I'm going to put flowers on someone's porch for May Day.
AE: ... and I'm going to put doggie poo on someone's porch.
Me: *grumble*
AE: Hee hee!
Me: Time to go. You need a time out.
AE: I'm 14 years old! I shouldn't have time outs anymore!
Me: Let's go.
AE: NO.
Me: You mean you'd rather stay here?
AE: *stunned silence*.... Time out, here I come!
Me: (whispered) Victory!
