The kitchen door burst open, “My boy things are gonna change around here!”

“How chef?”

“I’ve been telling you, it’s time. I feel it inna ma bones! Out with the old!”

“What’s the idea?”

“Circles they’re out! We’re doing Triangles.”

“Oh like a big slice, that’s cool, super retro.”

“Retro, no-no. We need new — we need a transformation — how about Squares!”

“Oh, I know this fancy place down the road from my house that does square ones. It does fill the box nicely.”

“Circles?”

“It does feel like they could be the new thing.”

“Yes, classic. Classic is good.”
