we all float down here

A recent conversation that went from normal to crazy:

Stern: The weather is so nice in New York! I'm walking through Prospect Park. The dogwood trees are in bloom!
Me: Oh really? How warm is it?
Stern: Very! I'm wearing a t-shirt.
Me: What else are you wearing?
Stern: A big shirt, big baggy pants, floppy shoes, a squeaky nose, and my red hair is so curly! You know, we really don't dress like clowns often enough! I'm going to surprise [girlfriend] at the airport on Friday wearing this outfit! And I'll be crying, because I'll be a sad clown!
