Good Thing They Caught Each Other, Part 4

(My boyfriend and I are currently long-distance. He’s making a model ‘Sculpey Jolteon’; a Pokémon. He’s not completely finished.)

Boyfriend: “It has a squid tail right now.”

(He sends me a picture.)

Me: “It looks like it has a platypus tail.”

Boyfriend: “Yeah, you’re right. Wait, what did I say?”

Me: “You said it had a squid tail. Squids don’t have tails, but I knew what you meant; the fins.”

Boyfriend: “Oh, yes! Thanks honey, I’m glad you understand me when I make no sense.”

Me: “Me too. Otherwise we’d be at an impasse.”
