S.: You know what I hate? When people put "patterns" under things they like. I HATE patterns.
Me: You hate "patterns"?? How can you hate patterns? Are we talking like, "I hate people who wind up marrying their alcoholic fathers," or more like "God, I can't stand paisley!" ??
S.: No, people always write that they like pattern patterns. Like anything vaguely ethnic. Which I hate. They're totally unnecessary. I'm so sick of Indian-looking patterns and shit.
Me: Uhm... what if the Indian patterns are on something, like, in India? How can it be unnecessary then?
S.: I like monochrome.
Me: Yeah, yeah, you wish the whole world could just succumb to being beige and uniform, I know. You are a freak.
S.: Yes! Exactly!
Me: So like, you think that the floor in Westminster Abbey would look better in soothing shades of gray?? Thank god no one put YOU in charge of Colors. I would kill myself.
S.: It would still be handsome in a nice khaki, yes.
