Austin & I celebrated twelve years of being together a couple of weeks ago. Wellll, my nephew was celebrating six months of being with his girlfriend, had it posted on Facebook and everything. And while she spent Christmas with us, I wasn't really suspicious of six months. I knew he knew her a while before they technically started dating, so I didn't think much of it. But when I saw him on Mother's Day, I mentioned it.
My sister pipes up: It's ten months. Charmaine counts ten months, because that's when they started dating. Six months is when he asked her to be his girlfriend.
Me: Ooooohhh!
So I told Austin this story later because he didn't come visit with my sister and her family that morning.
Me: They're young. They celebrate everything.
Austin: You celebrated us being together six months.
Me: I didn't post it on Facebook.
Austin: Oooohhh, the true marker.
Me: Besides, you never asked me to be your girlfriend. We had a discussion about six months after we started dating to discuss the state of the relationship. Which I initiated.
Austin gets down on his knee, takes my hand, holds it to his heart.
Austin: Will you be my girlfriend?
Me: No.
