Area Gen-Xer Briefly Jealous of Friend

[flexagon]

Area Gen-Xer flexagon felt familiar, nasty stirrings of jealousy in her gut upon hearing that yet another friend had bought a nice house in the boonies, sources reported this afternoon. The house in question is two stories tall and has 2100 square feet, and doubtless cost less than the 900 square feet of 100-year-old condo currently occupied by Flex and her husband. The house was described as "awesome", although it sits on a "so-so" lot that was not included in the purchase price. Independent analysis of the floorplan confirmed the accuracy of that description.

All stirrings ceased abruptly when flexagon remembered that the friend is planning to fill the awesome space with babies and baby-related little plastic things, then spend the next 15 years fighting with his wife-to-be over whether to raise them Catholic. Her mood was further lifted by an order placed with Amazon.com several minutes later.
