Him:
There's a lot of behavioral psychology involved re, in the way that people own up to farts. Farting. Their fart. Whatever. You decide what's the right grammar.
... This was on the day following our marriage btw. I'm so lucky :)
... And the dog ate my homework
Him:
All this time I've been leaving comments on your blog and reading all your tweets.
Me:
You left ONE comment, and saw my tweets at some ten in the morning.
Him:
I am almost Rajni. My one comment is equal to ten comments.
Excuses, excuses. But all so innovative.
Way Back in the Day
Him:
I'm telling you re... if your mom hears us talking on the phone like this, she'll obviously say we're immature and she'll be fully unsure if we're ready to get married, no?
Me:
You started it.
Him:
Nonsense, you started it!
Me:
Then you stop no? Stop no? Huh? Huh?
... Poor long-suffering eavesdroppers. At least it beats the age old 'You hang up first,' 'No, you' debate.
Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani
Me:
(referring to my rather unhealthy penchant for tragic martyr songs)
So I'm a patriotic person.
Him:
No, you're one puski papaya.
Time Zones
Me:
I finished this on Thursday, why haven't I heard back yet?
Him:
It's not yet Friday in Australia.
Me:
Uhm. So?
Him:
It's not yet Friday in Australia.
Me:
I'm not working with Australians, you are.
Him:
Doesn't matter. It's not yet Friday in Australia.
Say What?
Him:
You were so not coherent! You were all running around like 'Make it disappear.... do something..... Ywaaaaaaaaarlllllllaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!'
Me:
Let's see you repeat that sound effect.
Him:
It's the sound equivalent of ants in your pants re... Ywaaaaaaaaarlllllllaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!
Small is Beautiful
Him:
Oh please. Everyone thinks I'm one charming little thing.
Me:
*Devilish cackle 'cos I'm awesome like that*
Little?
Him:
*Furiously backtracking*
Not little as in small obviously!
Me:
No? Then little as in what re?
Him:
Little... as in... easygoing!
... You heard it here first, Oxford Dictionary. Little is the new easygoing.
Hard Day's Night
(Comparing notes on our days)
Me:
Got home at around 11 last night, woke up at 6, worked all day, went to pick up the gifts from a store, lugged 110 pieces back, went to my aunt's place, helped her with computer education, walking back home now at around 9.
Him:
Today... kuch nahi re. I had to socialize with relatives for some two hours at the puja. Then I went and slept.
Me:
Aww. You must be so exhausted.
Him:
I was. I slept for four hours after the puja.
You're It!
Him:
Okay look one of us has to be the non-obsessive chilled out type.
... Don't look at me, that's traditionally the man's job!
Guest Appearance by the Almost Mother-in-Law
Mom:
I think they're happy.
Me:
I think they have no life.
Mom:
Whatever.
Me:
??!!!!! Don't whatever me, mother!!!
Talk about role reversal without warning!
RSS
Him:
(after inspecting my blog)
How come you didn't put up any slander today?
... Good to know I have a loyal reader base before I even give out the link :) Also, here it is, slander.
In-Laws
Me:
I could really use some help.
Him:
Aww. But I can't give you any, 'cos I'm not Kaanoon.
Me:
What?
Him:
Kaanoon ke haath lambe hote hai, mere nahi.
... Face, meet palm.
While Stocks Last*
Him:
(After saying something ridiculously cute)
I'm so worried re.. at some point I'll finish telling you all the cute things I know, and then how will I generate new ideas?*
Divine Disaster
Him:
I could use a calming influence in my life.
Me:
I'm about as calming as a tornado.
Him:
I know.. I'm not saying you'll be the calming influence, I'm saying you'll be there, so I'll be calmer.
Me:
That's like saying I don't believe in God or anything, but having the statue around makes me feel secure.
Him (after a pause):
Yeah.
