"Name"
Nina....
No ...full name...
Oh ....Nina Callendar Scales .......Okay, take a cloud and someone will be here to see you....Hello Nina...And what age would you like to be....You mean I can be any age I want...Yup, well sort of...you can be half your age or half of that and so on. Used to be any age you wanted but the NDP changed the rules...We had to do it this way to beat the fees...Well that is wonderful any way...lets see..I would like to be one half my age , so thats...About 46 according to my calculator...Oh that would be nice...46 again...I didn't hurt near as much in those days,
except for my back, and the gall bladder, and water on the knee....
Roy was there then...but not much chance of seeing him here.........Roy, Roy...Roy Scales.....smokes, has a big ash,and doesn't inhale...Well, that sounds like him but I don't remember a big .......No...No he has a long ash on his...nevermind...anyway he is here. Oh my, that was good of you.....Well, we had to let him in because he is the only guy that can keep the Cloud Blower working....And in order to make the trade we had to take in a few of his old pals and a bar tender. Anyway he is here.....And uh.. How old is he? "20" Oh that's just right, won't he be surprised to see me....I'm sure he will Mrs. Scales. He will be off at 2 and then he goes to the Automotive Club...He usually closes the place because he plays the electric guitar in the Hawaiian band. Anyway we have lots of time,...
now you can fill out this schedule....Swimming on Monday....Bingo on Tuesday....Group fashion Parade on Wednesday....and on and on....you can fill out the list...I suggest you wait about 10 minutes ..then you will be 46 and
in the mood for some of this stuff.....Oh yes.......
On fridays you get to watch videos on what the people you left are doing.....Oh my won't that be fun...After lunch I will take you to visit some of your friends and relatives...Oh... I must hurry and get changed ......Is there a thrift store here? Well there are lots of stores but they are just for fun....Here put this on.... Oh, that's beautiful, but it feels a little pulling on the back seams...Thats the wings, keep em folded in when you go through doorways and only open them when you want to cruise around a little...Be careful, there is only one pair every birthday and take em off when you go swimming......
I have a feeling yours will be in great shape, and you may do well on a trade in.Oh wonderful, uh.. do you mind if I ask a question? Of course not....we don't mind anything...Well uh mmm, could I be 23 instead? Yes, 23...according to my calculator......all these changes are a little unusual but you do have pull here with Roy being the cloud blower and all..so, why not...."poof"...how's that.......
Ohhh that's wonderful....but is that not a little too much on the uhh..top....
Oh no Mrs. Scales, you are quite gifted in that department....
oh.oh..okay...so now what happens...
Just go down the way to cloud 9 Mrs. Scales...you can wait there...
I will check in about 5....you have a nice day..........Roy will be surprised....
