Day 56: In Which They Marie Kondo Their Closets
The quarantine was surely taking her to unexpected situations. Unexpected situation of the day: cleaning her closet whilst on a video call with her alleged favorite neighbor. She sat cross-legged on the floor, her phone propped on a stool between a stack of books and a mug, and a box of forgotten memories open in front of her.
"I mean, you probably can't buy one of these anywhere," she heard her alleged favorite neighbor saying.
"Does it spark joy, Jack?" Elsa asked as she turned the pages of an old photo album.
"It's a fucking burrito costume, Elsa. Of course it sparks joy!"
"If you say so…"
"To the keep pile, it goes. Whatcha got there?"
"Hmm?" Elsa looked at her phone and was met with the sight of him staring straight at her. "I found some baby photos."
"Yours?"
She shook her head. "Who else's would they be?"
"Show me."
"I'd rather not."
He pouted. "Aw, come on. I'll show you a picture of me wearing a leotard."
"Why would I ever want to see that?" Elsa laughed.
"It's your loss. I look phenomenal."
"I'm sure you do."
"Okay, I've got the leotard picture, and I raise 'me in a waterfall' for your pudgy baby face."
She glowered at her phone. "Who said I was a pudgy baby?"
"Every newborn is pudgy, Elsa."
"You are wrong once again, Jack."
"Prove it."
"Nice try," Elsa said with a laugh. "Here, satisfy yourself with my first ballet recital," she mumbled, showing him a four-year-old version of herself in a sparkly sunflower outfit.
"Aw, you were such a princess."
"Yes." She rolled her eyes, then shifted the camera back to her face. "Now pay up."
For a moment, he simply looked at her with a stupid grin on his face, which only fueled her annoyance.
"What?" Elsa snapped with a huff.
"You so wanna see me in a leotard!"
