SMed #7: Followers

Amber is in the kitchen cooking. Cole comes running in.

Cole: Amber, Amber! You’re not gonna believe this!

Amber is nonplussed. You might even say she’s minussed.

Amber: Hm?

Cole: A comedian just followed me on Twitter! A famous comedian! I mean, I’d never heard of her before, but she’s been on television and she has some of her bits on YouTube, but she’s a real comedian who is now following me on Twitter!

Amber leaves her cooking for a moment.

Amber: Let me see.

Cole hands her the phone. Amber swipes a bit.

Amber: Okay, you want the good news or the bad news?

Cole: Uh. The good news.

Amber: It turns out, yes, this is a real comedian who is following you on Twitter. The bad news is that she’s also following 500,000 other people. So… you’re not special.

Cole: But I chose the good news…

Amber: Sorry, I thought it was implicit that I’d be telling you both.
