How To Train Your Girlfriend

(I am on the phone with my boyfriend. For fun I am asking him generic questions about himself, like his favorite color, food, etc.)

Me: “What’s your favorite animal?”

Boyfriend: “Hmm. Real or imaginary?”

Me: “You may choose one of each, if you wish.”

Boyfriend: “Okay. Real…dragon. Imaginary…whatever those little furry puffball things from Harry Potter were called. You know, the ones Fred and George invented.”

Me: “Oh, right! I forget what those were called. But, um, I said one real and one imaginary. Dragons aren’t—“

Boyfriend: “LALALALALALA!”

Me: “What?”

Boyfriend: “What?”

Me: “I said, dragons—”

Boyfriend: “LALALALALALA! What?”

(I am laughing hysterically.)

Boyfriend: “Stop trying to crush my dreams!”
