Thanks! I know it’s kind of an odd story, but I thought the word play was fun. That line drove me nuts. It’s till not exactly the…flow…I had in mind even after rewriting it and rearranging the order of the other sentences about half a dozen times.

Fun wordplay, and I love the idea of throwing convention to the wind. Why limit oneself to matched pairs, right?
