A Threepenny For Your Answer

(My boyfriend and I are in the kitchen listening to some old tunes. He’s washing dishes while I’m cooking dinner.)

Me: *passionately singing along with “Mack the Knife”* “Now that Maaackyyyyy’s… back in toooooowwwwwnnnn!”

(The song ends, and after a few moments of silence while we’ve been quietly working on our respective tasks…)

Boyfriend: *puts down dish brush and turns toward me, completely serious* “If Mack’s ‘back in town’… where did he go?”

(I started laughing so hard, I had to temporarily excuse myself from the kitchen.)
