one small corner of the universe

Heather: “How much is this tie-dyed hoodie?”

Crafty tie-dye man: “Forty-five.”

Heather: “Dollars?”

Crafty tie-dye man: “Yes, I hand tie-dyed it. These regular sweatshirts are twenty.”

Heather (to Megan): “So a hood costs an additional twenty-five bucks?”

Megan: “Yeah, right, and I’m sure it cost him about five dollars to make the whole thing. I could get a two dollar tie-dye kit and make that myself.”
