Millie: Oh my gosh, I need a drink after...

Millie: Oh my gosh, I need a drink after what happened to me. Okay, I need more than just a drink but they’re funny about that other stuff at the border.

Esther: What happened to you after we got to the casino? You were right behind me when suddenly you were gone.

Millie: On the way into the casino, I realized I wasn’t nearly as interested in cherries and lemons as I was in banana bread and chocolate chip cookies and I...

Grace: You have chocolate chip cookies?

Leona: Never mind the cookies, we want to know what happened!

Esther: Let’s not be hasty. Let’s have a look at these chocolate chip cookies.

Millie: Oh yes, I bought all kinds of things! I can’t wait to show you! Forget the boring old chocolate chip cookies I bought. I have macadamia-nut fudge bars!

Leona: I will trade you for some kale dip and quinoa crackers.

Millie: I don’t care for either of those, Leona, but I’d be happy to share what I have.

Grace: Share? What do you expect from a hippy? That’s just crazy talk.

Esther: While you are showing us all your baked goods, what happened when you went to the bake sale, other than you cleaning them out?

Millie: Oh my, it was the scariest thing. I was loading up on home-made popcorn balls when this woman comes up to me and says “Come quickly, your friend, Esther has been hurt.”

Grace: How devious! Mind you, that ploy doesn’t even work on Kindergartners anymore. They street-proof them right out of the womb these days. We just forgot to street-proof Millie.

Esther: Hush, Grace. You’re about as helpful as phoning the government. So then what happened, Millie? Think hard.

Millie: Okay….(closes her eyes and puts her fingers to her head.) I’m thinking hard. It’s like working muscles I haven’t used in a while. What was I thinking hard about again?

Leona: Think hard about what happened after the woman led you away from the bake sale.

Millie: Oh! Right!. Let’s see… She led me to a room here in the hotel…

Leona: What room number was it?

Millie: How could I know? I was blindfolded when we went into the room.

Esther: You let a stranger blindfold you?

Millie: It wouldn’t be the first time.

Grace: Oh, for heaven’s sake Millie. Have you no edit button?

Esther: How on earth did they get you to wear a blindfold? Surely that would have been a bit of a tip off that something was not right with the picture.

Millie: They said you weren’t really hurt but just used that as a trick to get me to go with them to a surprise party for me that you gals were throwing. That’s why they needed to blindfold me.

Grace: And you believed them?

Millie: I’ve always wanted a surprise party. I was so excited!

Grace: You are so gullible. I have some magic beans to sell you.

Leona: Never mind Grace, Millie. What happened after that?

Millie: I want to hear more about these magic beans. Are they like magic mushrooms? Did I mention I have macadamia-nut fudge bars to trade?

Esther: Grace, can you please stop interrupting Millie? Her train of thought is easily derailed. Go on, Millie. What happened then?

Millie: I was led into this room where there was this guy sitting in the dark with just a light shining at me so I couldn’t make out what he looked like.

Esther: Sounds like something out of a fifties gangster movie.

Grace: Sounds like something out of Millie’s warped imagination.

Leona: Sounds like we should hear her out. She may be a bit loopy but she never lies and if she says something happened, she really believes it did. If nothing else it makes for a great story!
