An Exchange in the Elevator

Co-worker: "I feel like a mushroom these days, living in the cold, damp, dark."

Me: "At least mushrooms thrive in those conditions."

Co-worker: "True, but it's not my preferred state of being."

Me: "So you are an unwilling mushroom."

Funny how we can thrive in places where we would rather not be. We are sometimes unwilling mushrooms, you and I.
