she makes these weird comments.
lets be specific.
she says things like "look the cookies just arrived" though its the first thing she's said to you tonight in person, and you've been in this big dimly lit room full of folks with a table full of fancy food things and another table full of booze for two hours.
this is what she says "look the cookies just arrived" and because shes unusual and smarter than her you assume it's not about food but about someone or something coming in late to the party or coming it tackily or coming in cookily. so you say "what?"
and she says "do i stutter?"
and you recover with " it's just that i thought you were telling me someone tacky just arrived." she laughs unconvincingly,
you turn one shoulder away, draw deeply on your drink and place your free hand on the shoulder of a friend who hasnt heard or doesnt care about the transaction, because, in actuality, though it digs you deep, it doesnt matter much.
