#529: Sledding Discussion explain

Sledding Discussion

[Megan looks out window through blinds.]

Megan: It’s snowing!

Cueball: [from off-screen] Sled time!

[Megan and Cueball outside with sled, at the top of a hill.]

Cueball: It depresses me that I’m too old to learn another language fluently. My brain’s solidified.

[Megan and Cueball sledding down the hill.]

Megan: Is there one you wish you knew?

Cueball: No, I just hate having options closed to me. Like I’ve given up a life that was once possible.

[At the bottom of the hill, sled has stopped.]

Megan: Yeah. Which reminds me - our anniversary is coming up.

Megan: Man, that ride failed to be a metaphor for our conversation.

Cueball: Guess this isn’t the Calvin & Hobbes-model toboggan.
