Austin and I were arguing about which of us has the better memory. It’s me.
Me: Excuse me? You don’t even know when I was born.
Austin: I know when you were born.
Me: When?
Austin: It’s either January tenth or January twelveth.
Me: See?
Austin: I can remember important things.
Me: My birthday isn’t important?
Austin: It doesn’t matter if I don’t remember it. If I need to know it, I can get into your wallet and pull out your driver’s license to check the date.
This is what I always say when I’m going to be in the bathroom for a while, getting ready, etc.
Me: I’m going to take over the bathroom.
Austin: Don’t do a hostile takeover. Maybe peaceful negotiations will work.
Austin and I have become yogurt making fiends. We use 6 oz. Evaporated milk and 36 oz. 2% milk for a batch. Usually Austin uses one of the cups to measure out the ounces. I start making a batch of yogurt. We had half a can of evaporated milk leftover, so I dumped it in. I then used the can to measure out the milk.
Austin: What are you doing!
Me: This is a 12 ounce can. Three cans will complete the batch.
Austin: That’s just craziness.
Me: There is catnip in my Tension Tamer tea. Seriously, what )&#$ kind of conversation was going on at Celestial Seasonings for someone to say, “And let’s put catnip in this.”
Friend X: Catnip is a herb lol, just don’t start running around the house or rolling around on the floor lol.
“I Can’t Fight This Feeling” by REO Speedwagon was on the radio. It gave my chills as I recalled my 14 year old best friend from school and her eighteen year old boyfriend used to sing this to each other. This was their song.
Me: I just feel the need to let you know this was X and Y’s love song back in school.
We mumbled a bit about the fact that we don’t have a song.
Austin: I guess this could be our song.
Me: Yuck. No. Have you ever felt the need to fight your feelings for me?
Austin: I don’t fight anything with you. Fighting with you is like fighting a rabid badger with no hands while blindfolded.
Me: I watched a biography on Harriet Tubman. Very good. Very informative.
Austin: Harriet Tubman was a very important person. She did a lot for America. She invented the bathtub. before her, we only had showers.
Me: If the NAACP show up, I’m letting them take you.
Listening to the radio and Hall & Oats come on.
Hall & Oats: One on One, I want to play my game tonight.
Me: Hey bubby, they’re talking about you.
Austin: That’s right. Elden Ring. Go away, I want to play my game.
