It Is Arguably Arguable

(My boyfriend and I have been disagreeing with each other for over an hour. We sound angry because of our tones, but we are speaking at a regular volume, so no yelling has occurred. Both of our individual parents tend to be very loud when they argue.)

Boyfriend: “Look, I wasn’t saying [what I thought he meant]. I was just saying that I think you need to calm down and—”

Me: “Wait… babe, are we arguing?”

Boyfriend: “I… I don’t know. Does this count as arguing?”

Me: “I don’t know. I’m used to screaming.”

Boyfriend: “Me too… huh… Wanna go and discuss this over ice cream and Doctor Who?”

Me: “I love you.”

(It’s been five days, and we still don’t know if we were arguing or not.)
