Conversation

At work, during a working meeting in my colleague's office.

Colleague 1: Anyone else we need to list as needing to sign off on this?
Colleague 2: W. [Colleague 2's cat, whose picture graced her mousepad]. He's on the mousepad, he has a stake.
A.: Ugh--Gracie pooped on my floor on Saturday night.
Colleague 1: Is Gracie... your cat?
A.: Yes.
Colleague 1: Okay, I didn't know that. I was going to say, you might want to look into getting new friends... but it makes sense now.
