ice cream stain

so steve, a real flirt (it always annoyed me), once
noticed that i had an ice cream stain on my shirt,
from working, and it was right at the center of my
chest, and he said, you know, i bet you have it there
just so all of us will look at your chest. and i thought
that this guy was just trying so hard to be funny, but
wasn’t.
