friends and enemies

today at work, nancy was trying to clear the table. she asked eileen if she was done with her juice, and when eileen said yes, nancy started to take the glass. eileen started slapping her wrist. nancy said, 'you said i could take it.' 'no i did not! you're crazy!' 'eileen, yes you did.' 'you're nuts!' (and she continued to swat at nancy - by now she was quite agitated.) 'eileen, i thought i was your friend.' 'you're not. you're my enemy! and you're nuts!'

so i went over and told eileen that i agreed with her that nancy is nuts. then i asked her if i was her friend. exceedingly calmly she replied, 'yes.' (and proceded to not drink her juice.)
