ME: That kid was really awkward...and creepy.
MT: Like a future serial killer?
ME: No, not that creepy; just weird. And he had one of those mustaches that hasn't quite grown in yet...like a lady mustache.
MT: (laughs)
ME: And he smelled.
MT: Uh oh...three strikes.
ME: He got three strikes with the lady mustache. Why do guys think that's okay?
ME: Guess what his name was...
MT: Mark.
ME: No. You have to look at me when I tell you...Cletus!

(It should be noted that Bridgette is knitting a baby blanket.)
BB: When we went to pick up the yarn Sean suggested I buy handles and attach them to the blanket. Then he's like, you can get these buttons and attach the sides and carry the baby around.
SP: Why don't you just buy a duffel bag and carry it around in there. I used to put Hannah in a duffel bag and carry her around in that....she hated it.
ME: Can you clarify that she wasn't a baby at the time?
SP: She wasn't a baby; she was just really small.
BB: Clearly Sean was joking.
ME: Clearly? That wasn't too clear to me.
MB: What are you making?
BB: A blanket.
ME: She's making a really skinny scarf.
BB: (joking) I'm making a scarf to swaddle/mummify the baby.
ME: Then Sean can be in charge of transport.
*It has come to my attention that I misattributed a quote. It was actually Meredith who joked about the baby mummification. My bad. *

MT: It's your favorite person.
ME: I hate that guy.
MT: Be careful or he's gonna try to set you up with someone...like his troglodytic half brother.
ME: (pauses) You deserve a high five for that one.

MT: So...we might be getting t-shirts for the new Textbook Rental program...
ME: For us to wear?
MT: In theory...
ME: What if I get cold?
MT: Well, you'll just have to get a bigger size and wear a shirt underneath.
ME: That must be a joke, 'cause I'm not doing that.
MT: I think they say, "Rent Me".
ME: I'm not wearing that...
MT: Maybe they say, "Rent It"...
ME: You see how wearing a shirt that says "Rent Me" could cause problems, right?
MT: (laughs) C'mon...it'll be a nice talking point. (laughs again) Oh God, I hope it says "Rent It".
MT: Don't go out there.
ME: What?
MT: That strangely androgynous guy has been talking to Ruth for about twenty minutes.
ME: Oh...thanks for telling me!
(five minutes later...)
ME: Mark, that was a woman...
MT: STRANGELY ANDROGYNOUS!!! See??

CW: Are you on the faculty listserve?
ME: Yeah, I think so...no, maybe I'm just on the classified listserve...
CW: The faculty one is much funnier. I'm bringing chocolate to the men who defended my breast's honor. True story.
ME: (what the hell?) Oh...hahaha...that's funny... (or is it?)

Me: Oh right...you went out with him!
SP: What?! I didn't go out with him!! What are you talking about?? Don't you think we would have been talking about that for forever? Why would I have gone out with him? What are you talking about? Who are you confusing him with? No, seriously?! I would have stabbed him if I went out with him...he would have been talking, and then a fork would have been in his jugular! Then I would have been like, "Please stop talking!" Why would you ever have thought I went out with him??
(pauses while I laugh, silently)
Really? What are you talking about???
(another pause)
How could you have thought I went out with him?? What are you talking about???
(pause)
What the hell???!!!
