Learning To Read

I'm sitting in my recliner this morning, watching today's Daily Show.

Jane walks in the room, sits down in the other chair and picks up Heather's address book.

She begins reading from it. But only the zip codes. This goes on for a few minutes, Jon Stewart doing his thing, and Jane calmly but steadily reading a series of numbers.

I pause Jon and turn to Jane.

ME: "That's a little weird."

JANE: "What?"

ME: "Reading from an address book."

JANE: "Why?"

ME: "Most people just don't do it."

JANE: "Okay. I'll start over from A."

ME: "Great."
