"You called at exactly the right time."

I was just walking home by myself when I decided to call my friend Kyle. When Kyle and I talk on the phone, overhearing it actually tends to irritate other people (esp Z). I think it's because our conversations are absurd, and jump around from one ridiculous (often invented and/or juvenile) topic to the next. Because of this I prefer to call Kyle when I will not be overheard. I frequently get his voicemail, so I was mentally preparing my message when he answered in a peculiar tone.

Kyle: Kendra! His voice sounds louder and even more theatrical than usual... I become suspicious. The first thing that you say will be very important.

Kendra: accidentally interupting Hello. I am grateful that he ignores this, the first thing that I ACTUALLY say, because, that would be a real bummer.

Kyle: I am speaking to you from a darkened planetarium filled with people. these people (mostly children) begin to laugh We are talking about dreams tonight, and we need your help. What I'd like you to do is pick up a book. Any book. Just walk over to the bookshelf, pick up a book, open it...
now at this point I know that I cannot lie. I cannot walk down 8th Ave and pretend that I am in my living room holding a book.

Kendra: Can I walk to the bookshelf in my mind?

Kyle: Yes, I'm putting you on speakerphone. You may walk to the book case in your mind. What we need from you is the title of the book.

Kendra: I think as fast as I possibly can. At first, I figure I should try to think of a book title that would be ironic, or deep, or funnily appropriate in THIS moment. But, I knew better. I cleared my mind, and then said the first book title that I called up. The Little House on the Prairie?I hear children squeal and giggle.

Kyle: Little House on the Prairie, everyone! everyone in the place is cracking up. I have inadvertently made a joke I don't understand. That is perfect. Thank you, Kendra.

Kendra: You're welcome, Kyle. Goodbye.

Kyle: Goodbye Kendra. You called at exactly the right time.
