Conversation: Gap year edition

A real conversation between me and a friend who has yet to choose her own psuedonym so I'm calling her "W."  It only makes sense because in real life we share the same first name.

Setting:  coffee shop

Background:  Lots of rambling conversation already...  followed by this. 

 W:  Son #1 is talking about taking a gap year between college and medical school.

Wanda Louise: Wow, I haven't shopped at the gap in years.

W:  Oh. O.K.

Wanda Louise:  I was probably in college the last time I walked into the gap.  I wonder if I still have that blue sweater?

W:  What?  Why are you talking about shopping twenty five years ago?

Wanda Louise: Didn't you just tell me that Son #1 is going to work at the gap for a year?

W:  NO.  I just told you he's taking a "gap year."  He wants to spend a year with a Christian campus ministry organization working with international students.

Wanda Louise: Oh. Good for him.   I don't even know where there is a gap around here.

W:  Remind me again why we're friends.
 

Happy Birthday "W"

So proud of you Son #1.
