Overheard on the subway this morning:
Girl 1: So we totally did go out last night.
Girl 2: Really?
Girl 1: Yeah, we ended up just driving around the bridle path. Oh my god! Those houses are huge! They’re ridiculous!
Girl 2: Yeah.
Girl 1: Like, with tennis courts and pools! They’re HUGE! They’re mansions!
Girl 2: Yeah, but they’re, like, kind of lonely. You’re so, like, isolated.
Girl 1: Totally.
