A Friendship To Bat For

(My friend and I are sitting at a table, having a cigarette. We are both staring at our phones and not interacting, when out of the blue…)

Friend: *bats cigarette packet at me*

Me: *stares*

Friend: *slowly moves and bats lighter at me*

Me: “Why would you do that?”

Friend: “I swear I was a cat in a past life.”
