Jas Loves Elmo

December 15, 2002

The realtor came to show my building today, so I hung out with my upstairs neighbor, Jasmin, the way we usually do when he comes. I noticed Jasmin had a bass guitar resting on her couch. I asked her about it, and she said she’s going to start learning how to play.

“I have an amplifier in the basement you can borrow, if you’re interested.”

“Yes!”

I lugged it up three flights of stairs from the basement, hooked it up, and made some noise. When I heard how it shook the entire apartment building when she played, I realized that maybe it was a mistake.

Then again, I’ll probably be able to lie in bed and get a free massage.
