Dear Wigleaf,

I have this game which is not really a game but a thing that I do with people I want to know.

I ask, If you were a vegetable, what kind of vegetable would you be? (Not a human vegetable, but a vegetable vegetable.) And then that person tells me. A carrot. A turnip. A spring onion.

Then we do trees, animals, fruits and inanimate objects.

You, Wigleaf, would be neither a wig nor a leaf. You'd be a corkscrew. One of the simple ones. The kind that is just a handle attached to a screw. The kind that asks you to make a goddamn effort.

And there are other things I could tell you but I think I'll just stop now. Please don't call me anymore, even if I ask you to.

Love,

Catherine
