A Brain Like Siv
After class I was chatting with some friends. I was invited to a dance party. I grabbed out my phone and said with my Australian laziness ‘Better write this down, have a brain like sieve’. An awkward moment passed and I suddenly realised the girl right next to me was called Siv. I quickly laughed ‘not a brain like Sivs but a brain like a sieve’. I think some got it…lol.
