Man and Woman Chat

(This was meant to go into a challenge but it wasn't until

after I wrote and tried to post, did I realize I went over the word limit.

Sorry Harry_Situation.)

“It’s just you and me here. Where are others like us?”

“I don’t think there are others like us, woman.”

“But Man, then it will just be you and me for all time?”

“Pretty much according to father. As long as we follow the rules

he set for us we can live here in this garden a long time.”

“What’s a long time and what is time. I never heard that word from

you until now.”

“Time is just a thing, like when the sun comes up, it is time to wake up.

When it gets dark, it is time to sleep.”

“Man, I have been meaning to speak to you about that. You make strange

sounds coming from your nose and it keeps me not sleeping a long time.”

“What kind of noises, Woman?”

“Like a—pig? But I do not know what a pig is but you sound like one.”

“I see. Since you brought that up, there have been times where you wake me

in the middle of the night with the foulest breath that seems to come from

another part of your body.”

“Foul.”

“Yes, like—poop, but I don’t know what poop is either.”

“I am hungry, Man.”

“Then go to the garden and pick fresh fruit, but remember—stay away from the red

fruit. Father says it is sinful.”

“I have been meaning to ask, what is sin?”

“I don’t know Woman, but Father says it is terrible to eat and a sin is all I know. Father

isn’t really big on explaining himself to me.

“Before I go get us something to eat, when do we get what he called a—name?”

“Not sure. But while you get the fruit, I’ll start building a small a—dam and maybe when it gets closer to eve, Father may tell us then.”

“Okay, but you know something, Man?”

“What’s that, Woman?”

“Father should have taken the rib out of me instead of you because I am stuck with someone that doesn’t know much about anything.”
