Manny was Suzy’s student IRL. One day (the one before a vacation), Suzy asked Manny if he had any plans. Manny answered, “You can’t exactly go on vacation when you have (the exact number has been forgotten, less than 100) cows.”
Suzy filled the awkward silence with a teachable comment, “You should pretend like you do and write stories about it.”
Manny said, “That’s okay, you can.” So, she did. She meant for Manny to take his cows across the country, but they had too great a time in Niagara Falls.
