"You'd think having a broken arm would be bad enough but no ... got to catch a cold on top it." This statement is followed by a very cold-ish sounding sniff. "And the lemon would be on the top shelf."
"That's why you want a jump rope." The voice is the same, but free of any sound of colds -- and far, far too cheerful to ever be confused with the first voice. "See? Just click the retractable button and you're up--" There's a mechanical hiss. "I could do this one handed!"
"And if you did, you couldn't reach the lemon. Throw it down."
There is a soft thud, followed shortly by the chink of glasses and the rush of boiling water.
And a sneeze.
Beat.
"You've given me your cold!"
"I've done no such thing!"
"I sneezed!"
"That doesn't prove anything!"
"Does too!"
"I only got my cold today. You haven't had time to catch it from me--"
"Did too!"
This might be a good idea to open the kitchen door, interrupt what promises to be a repetitive argument.
