Overheard in a Peebles* fitting room

Two preteen girls are trying on clothes in the next stall. Let's listen in:

"Umm... that looks like something Cricket would wear."

"Who's that?"

"Some weird girl from my school."

"And her name is Crooked?"

"No, Cricket. She is crooked, though."

Your guess is as good as mine as to whether she is morally or physically crooked.

*What is a Peebles you ask? Only a terrible department store that I enter once a year and just to vow never to return. Except that one time I got flame Chucks for Dorian for only $3 and that memory messes with my fortitude.
