Amanda and Carolyn were not far from the landing of the stairs you just traversed and have finished breakfast and are just sitting around with their coffee.
"So Amanda, anything new at school?"
"Yeah, I guess. Water polo conditioning started last week..."
"Isn't that good? I thought you loved water polo."
"Yeah, well... It's co-ed this year..."
"Meaning you're practicing with the tiny league in the pool??"
"Yeah. It's terrible. They're always trying to swim into our bikinis..."
"Amanda! Doesn't the coach know? Why doesn't she stop them?"
"She's tiny too, mom..."
"That has nothing to do with it."
"Well..."
"I suppose it can't be helped. Back when I was in high school the boys did the same things, dear. We didn't even have co-ed swimming. They must have sneaked into the pool beforehand. Boys don't really change!" Carolyn laughed. "Oh, I remember those days we would get in the showers and suddenly we would see tiny guys running for their lives out from our pile of swimsuits!"
"Hmmm..."
You approach the table your family is sitting at. So far, you can see two routes you could take to somehow irritate Carolyn...
