Will-ing The Relationship Over

(My boyfriend and I are playing a videogame together. One of the characters in the level is an old wise black man named Phineas.)

Me: “Ugh, I hate this level. Phineas bothers me.”

Boyfriend: “Really? I like him.”

Me: “Why?”

Boyfriend: “He reminds me of Morgan Freeman.”

Me: “True. I don’t really like Morgan Freeman, though.”

(He is suddenly quiet. I look up at him to see the most betrayed face I’ve ever seen.)

Boyfriend: “How could you…?”

Me: “I’m sorry, I just don’t! I don’t get why everyone makes a big deal out of him. I’m the same with Will Smith.”

(His face changes from betrayal to confusion and slight anger. I realize the mistake I’ve made.)

Me: “Oh, my god, no! Will Ferrell! I meant Will Ferrell! Will Smith is fantastic!”

Boyfriend: *laughs* “Okay, good! I thought I was about to have to break up with you!”
