The following is a conversation between Chris and I that took place on Chris’s birthday a couple weeks ago. I neglected posting it right away because, well, I’ve been busy dammit!, and also because I didn’t want people to think I was copying Dooce. But you know what, I like to take my pants off too and there’s no shame in that, so I’m posting it!
Chris: [While ironing a shirt] Is this how I iron?
Me: I don’t know why you’re asking me, you know I can’t iron. That’s why God invented the drycleaners.
Chris: [Still ironing…] I think maybe I’m making it worse?
Me: I really don’t know why you’re doing that, I think it looks fine. Plus, it’s not like you’re trying to impress anyone.
Chris: But I like to impress you.
Me: You want to impress me, take your pants off.
