"HOT IN TOPEKA!"

"HOT IN TOPEKA!" my roommate yelled out suddenly making me jump and knock over my last can of Dr Pepper.

"What are you talking about?" I say trying to rescue what I can of my preferred beverage before worrying about the mess it made.

"It's hot in Topeka!" He gave me a wide grin. Expecting me to get his jokes, which are always out of context, and the context is something I have never seen before.

I sniff my can before taking a sip and making a face. Damn it, it's flat. "Okay... It's hot in Topeka, it's cold in here." I start to wrap my blankie around me and the soda that was just sitting on the surface of my blanket, cause it's fleece, pours down my leg. "DAMN IT!"

I jump up and quickly grab some clothes heading for the bathroom, dragging my blanket.

"What's wrong?" I meet one of my other roommates as I pull open the door and almost get knocked on my face.

"It's fucking hot in Topeka." I growl as I shove past him so i can go into the bathroom which thankfully has a washer and dryer so I can do laundry and take a shower.

"Topeka? Toe picker, I'm a hot toe picker." I can hear the second roommate and realize that this must be from you tube thing and turn on the shower and blare my music. Why the hell did I move in with these guys? I reach to see if the water was warm enough yet.

"SHUT UP! Shut up! Shut up!" I hear my third roommate's voice sounding like Aronld Schwarzenegger.

I crack the door open. "Hey! I understood that reference!"
