Very nice. It's clear, it's believable, it's in character, it's vivid, and it's got a punchline.

Thank you, dorothy!

Thank you, elistaire!

That IS really good. Tricky to tell whole story (including flashback!) in a drabble.

Oh, there was agonizing about how to manage it. I'd actually cut the flashback out, until killabeez showed me how to convey it in just a handful of words.
