definition of character

I'm presently IMing with former co-worker Cheryl, reminiscing about the bad old days on the team I left behind. She was supposing that I was miserable then, what with the constant phone calls from one flake and Cheryl's own IMs through the night.

Me: I always screened her calls, as I'm sure you heard.

Cheryl: She did mention it at a few points back in December, yes.

Me: And as for your IMs, I subbed those out. That was Kiki writing you.

Cheryl: You subbed them out! Well, I guess that was easy enough:

"You go now."
"Hell no."
"Fuck no."
"I am not even looking at this until next week."

My own mother would think it's me.
