“I think you should seriously consider volunteering,” I said in a text message to a friend.

“No.”

“You would like it. It’s not so bad.”

“No, not interested!”

“You’re not hearing me…”

“Hell no!”

“You disappoint me.”

“That may be, but the answer is no. A person needs to know when to draw the line.”

What?!

Enough of this texting. I picked up the phone to make a call.

“I will have you know that as an artist, I know how to draw a line! I know everything there is to know about a lines!”

“Is that so.”

“Yes!”

Then we talked about tea.
