Made Up Over Make Up

(A group of friends from my judo club are at a member’s apartment hanging out. I am female while the two friends involved are male. We are lining up to get ourselves dinner from the kitchen.)

Friend #1: “What happened to your eye?”

Me: “What?”

Friend #1: “Your eye! Do you have a black eye?!”

(I turn around to check a mirror and realize some mascara had rubbed off under my eye, making a small, dark shadow.)

Me: “Oh! No, it’s just mascara.”

Friend #1: “Oh. Well, good. Or [Friend #2] and I would have had to do something.”

Friend #2: *busy filling his plate* “Yeah. We wouldn’t kill him, but we’d make him wish he was dead.”
