Now They Will Not Let It Go

(I am singing along to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ quietly, as I am horribly tone-deaf and know it. With me is my best friend of ten years and his girlfriend, also a friend of mine of about six years.)

Me: “I wish I was a better singer.”

Friend’s Girlfriend: “Me, too.”

(Friend starts laughing as I pretend to be offended.)

Friend’s Girlfriend: *eyes go wide* “I mean, I wish I could sing, too!”
