Dinner Dates with the Academics

Arithmetic is like no other Academic I dated.

Sure, “Aritha” Academic shares her sisters’ dark hair, cuteness, and legs that do not end. But she has a delightful wit and a je ne sais quoi quality that adds up to something that Philosophia and PollySci could not hope to have.

I know. I took Philo to dinner, and she was self-absorbed. I tried dinner with Polly, but she lectured me.

Aritha’s mother, English, and her dad, Art, reminded Aritha that her sisters had a terrible time with me. But Aritha told them, “Third time’s a charm.”

And it is.
