Keeping The Spirits Of Their Relationship Alive
(My girlfriend and I are doing a pedal tour of Savannah, where we visit several bars and learn about the history of the city.)
Tour Guide: “So, why are you drinking water? Are you just not a big drinker?”
Me: “No, I don’t drink. I’m a teetotaler.”
Girlfriend: “You really need to find a better term to use than ‘teetotaler.’”
Me: “Why? It’s accurate.”
Girlfriend: “‘Teetotaler’ implies that you’re judging people for drinking.”
Me: “There’s no judgment! I don’t care if people drink; it just isn’t for me.”
Girlfriend: “Honey, if I didn’t drink, we wouldn’t be dating.”
