Um, Thanks?
T: So my new partner’s dating this 22 year old.
Me: Really? How old is he?
T: 30.
Me: Wow, I can’t even relate to 22 year olds anymore. I wonder why men are attracted to younger women?
T: I’m sure I have no idea.
Me: No, seriously. I know they’re pretty to look at and all, but don’t you want someone you can at least talk to? I just don’t feel like I’d have that much in common with a 22 year old. I’m in such a different place in life right now than I was then.
T: Yes, well, I told him I didn’t know why he would want to date a young, attractive woman when he could . . . [trailing off, look of panic starting to form in his eyes]
Me: [Laughing] Gee, I’d love to see where that compliment was going.
T: Um, you’re beautiful and I love you?
Me: Yeah, maybe it’s best we just leave it at that.
T: Just dodged the bullet there, didn’t I?
Me: Only cause it’s the holidays Hon, only cause it’s the holidays.
