Upon smelling the tip of a highlighter

christina: OK, I smelled it.
_e.r.i.c.: : sucker!
christina: it smells like a place that I don't want to talk about
christina: ever,
christina: ever
christina: ever.
_e.r.i.c.: : how about now
christina: Still not ready to talk.
christina: Ok i'm ready
christina: it smelled like...
christina: the inside of a rolled up, dirty sheet that went through the wash without detergent, and it was left to dry in a musty basement for about 1 year.
christina: And then you had a yardsale and pulled it out
christina: and then you died.
_e.r.i.c.: : I LOVE THAT SMELL
christina: NO YOU DON'T
_e.r.i.c.: : oh
_e.r.i.c.: : gross!
christina: what?
_e.r.i.c.: : yardsales

me: Why is this so fucking funny?
Neale: we're so postmodern.
Let's not talk for the rest of the day
me: We belong in a hipster magazine
with our fresh, outdoor faces, sweaters and undergarments
Neale: I'm too well dressed
me: No, it's perfect.
Plus, we're watching LOTR. That's right. I abbreviated.
SUCK ON THAT!!
Neale: Booh Yeah!

Why My Mom Rules Sometimes

Me: I can't believe I left my birthday presents on the Cape! I really needed that wine opener last week.
Mom: Yeah, I couldn't believe how much I paid for a cork screw, but it killed me to know you had a bottle of wine you couldn't open.
