Strange Conversations: Part Four Hundred and Thirty-Four

Posted 10 January 2012 in by Catriona

This pretty much sums up my relationship:

NICK: You can stop giving your lecture on the word “hippopotamus” now. I’m really just being silly.
ME: And this is how I cope with you being silly. I go into lecture mode.
NICK: See? It calms you down and I learn something.
ME: Calms me down? What do you mean, calms me down?
NICK: Well, you’re obviously quite irritated.
ME: You think this is me being irritated?
NICK: I mean, you’re obviously quite irritated now.
ME: Well, of course I’m bloody well irritated now!

I want to hear the hippopotamus lecture now. Is it anything like the quantum physics lecture I gave my children over dinner when we talked about why Futuram is better than the Simpons? You really can find a ping pong ball by hitting it with a truck.

Exactly like that, only with more Potomac River.
