Hey, Remember that Time I Got Turned into a Slug by the Minimum Wage Magician?
Yeah, it was my niece’s fifth birthday party, and you paid him five bucks. He seemed pretty surprised it worked and started losing his shit. You laughed and put me in your shirt pocket and said you’d keep me there like a pet. Then, you dumped salt on me and said it was just a prank when my sister called an ambulance. I mean, they were able to turn me back into a person, so I guess it’s fine. No. You know what? Fuck you.
