Shayla found an exasperated Afura trying to console a distraught Miz. "What's eatin' her?" Shayla asked Afura.

"Oh," Afura said resignedly, "she's worried about being single and twenty-nine years old again."

"I'm older than I've ever been!" Miz cried.

Shayla blinked. "Um, yeah... I think that goes without sayin'..."

"And now I'm even older!" Miz sobbed.

Afura face-palmed. "Three guesses what's she's going to say next," Afura grumbled, "and the first two don't count."

"And now," an inconsolable Miz cried, "I'm older STILL!!"

Shayla sighed. "This routine gets real old, real fast."

"And now," Afura noted, "it's gotten even older."
