You Look at the Soda Can

You pick it up. A little soda sloshes around in the bottom.

"That's mine," Rosario says. "From dinner. Troy and I had hot dogs."

"Troy had soda too?" you ask.

"Yes. He tried some milk but he poured it out," Rosario remembers.

"What did you have on your hot dogs?" you ask. "Did you and Troy have the same thing?"

"Yeah," she says. "Wait -- no. Troy likes his mushrooms plain. Gross! I sauteed mine in butter."

"What about Mrs. Belindo?" you ask.

"She went grocery shopping after work," Rosario says. "Troy and I ate alone. Troy and Ninny and I," she corrects herself.

"Ninny?" you ask.

"Troy's cat. His name is actually Nine Inch Nails, because of his claws, you know? We call him Ninny for short."
