Sebastian smiled and said, “Jimmy, this stew is bussin’.”
Jimmy leapt up and dove for the payphone.
“Busses?” he cried. “Why'd you call for one alone?”
Sebastian dropped his spoon. “Jimmy, quit fussin’.”
Sebastian pinched his nose. “Jimmy, no bus for you.”
“But you said bussin’. I heard it plain,” said Jimmy with pride.
Sebastian rubbed his brow muttering aside,
“That's not what it means. Just enjoy your stew.”
“What if the driver’s late and cannot come to help?”
Sebastian groaned and grabbed his spoon. “Just try to eat.”
“If that bus pulls up and we’re not ready, we lose our seat!”
“There's no bus on the way,” Sebastian said, “don't yelp.”
“That taste,” Jimmy said, “is worth a thousand fables.”
Sebastian nodded calmly through the kitchen’s din.
“If bussin’ means flavor, then this dinner wins?”
Jimmy blinked. “Then why are we bussin’ these tables?”
