A (written) Conversation with Unk
We're trying to make a decision about something (no; it's not "having children"), and we can both think of arguments for and against. We've been thinking about it since right before Easter, and frankly we need to come to a decision.
So last night we sit down to talk about it, and we both want the other one to tell what they're thinking. The conversation is very productive:
Me: tell me what you think
Unk: you tell me what you think
Me: no; I want to know what you're thinking
Unk: I don't want to sway you. Tell me what you're thinking
Me: JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!
Unk: I want to know what you think aside from my feelings
Me: Ok, that's it.
I run into the kitchen and grab two pieces of scrap paper. Back to the living room.
Me: Just write what you're thinking.
Unk: OK!
I write what I think we should do, and he is surprisingly compliant about this.
We both write on our papers, fold them up, and hand them to the other person. I start to open his. "Wait!" he says, "we have to open them at the same time."
1....2....3
You know what his paper says?
Penis ... is a funny word
