one reason, among others, that I broke up with my bf
me: I'm sick of you always telling me I'm wrong just because we have different perspectives. a recent example is you keep saying I ask the wrong questions.
him: I didn't say that you ask the wrong questions. I said you don't ask the right questions.
me, fuming: I don't ask the right questions?! if I don't ask the right questions, what kind of questions am I asking?
other people, intellectuals: *some drollery about cats, so independent and aloof*
my cats: Mother, did you see me? I did a thing, were you watching? Come into the garden, Mother, for the sun shines brighter on the grass when you are there. Mother, if I don’t crack open your chest and sleep nestled inside your ribs tonight I might literally die. Mother. Mother. Did you see me, Mother?
