When Zoom Bookclub Goes Wrong
Janet: Hi Sheila! Thanks so much for planning this Zoom bookclub. What a great idea!
Sheila: You’re so welcome. And welcome to Grace! Glad you could make it.
Grace: Thanks for inviting me.
Laila: Hi all! I’ve missed seeing you in person. Good to at least see your faces. And nice to meet you Grace.
Grace: Thanks. You too.
Michelle: Hey girls! Got your wine ready?
Sheila: Got it girl! Cheers!
Janet: Okay, everyone have their snacks ready?
Michelle: This is so like the Brady Bunch! Hi Marsha! Hi Cindy!
Sheila: Hi Mrs. Brady! Hey Alice!
Janet: You guys are ridiculous! I’ve missed you. Okay, but really. Did everyone make a snack that goes with the theme of the book?
Grace: Oh, sorry I didn’t know about that.
Janet: No problem. Just when we can meet again in person, we all bring a snack that goes with the book. It’s really fun.
Michelle: As long as we have wine!
Janet: Sheila is that your cat? She’s really loud.
Sheila: Say hi to Marshmallow! I don’t know what I would have done without her during this quarantine. She’s such a sweetie!
Janet: Okay but she is really fucking loud right now. Can you put her in another room or something?
Sheila: Really Janet!? No I will not put her in another room!
Michelle: Okay, let’s just chill out girls. Have some more wine! Cheers!
Sheila: Michelle, you really do drink too much.
Michelle: Fuck you Sheila you fucking cat lady!
Janet: Actually you do Michelle. Let’s be real.
Michelle: Oh yeah, Ms. stupid theme fucking snacks? No one thinks that is a good idea, Janet.
Sheila: Yeah, that is really annoying Janet. No one actually wants to do that.
Grace: Um, sorry but are we going to talk about the book?
Michelle: Grace, I’m not sure you’re going to fit in here.
Janet: Yeah, sorry Grace but I don’t think this is going to work out.
Sheila: I’m going to boot you out of the Zoom call Grace. Sorry! Bye!
Janet: She was such a downer.
Sheila: Yeah, we should stick to our original group from now on. No newbies.
Michelle: Totally agree. Cheers!
