Overheard at House of Lime

SETTING: Isaac and a friend enter the house and begin a conversation in the foyer.  Lime is in the dining room.  Mr. Lime is in the kitchen.  Both parents are within earshot of the teens.  There is a small box of the cremated remains of Grandpa in the foyer.  Unbeknownst to Lime, in the foyer there is also a large box of ashes from the fireplace.



Isaac's friend: (regarding fireplace remnants) Is that kitty litter?

Isaac: No, those are ashes.

Mr. Lime: (with some level of irritation hinting at Isaac's dereliction of duty) Those were supposed to be dumped in the woods.

Lime: (incredulously) What?! I thought you were taking your dad to Harrisburg next week???

(Dead silence then questioning looks all around the room as Lime comes out to challenge the preposterous expectations.)


Mr. Lime: (flatly) Uh, I was referring to the fireplace ashes I asked Isaac to dump this afternoon.  They're in the foyer.  (suddenly inspired)  However, you're idea might not be such a bad one...
