Hot Joe and Kim Conversations
Sep 29
The following three conversations took place in less than an hour:
Getting Ready for bed
Hot Joe:Â Where did Noah say Sean went after motocross?
Me: I don’t know. I didn’t understand what he was talking about.
Hot Joe:Â Well what did he say?
Me: I don’t know! Somewhere with sand. He said you had talked about this kind of place before.
Hot Joe:Â Is it like where we went for RC racing?
Me: No. I don’t think so. I don’t know! I don’t know what he was talking about. There’s sand. And something about a sound.
Hot Joe:Â What kind of sound?
Me: Like a thud? I don’t know. I don’t know why there’s a sound. I have no idea where he went.
Hot Joe:Â I was just wondering.
LATER
HJ:Â I have to go to Pep Boys tomorrow.
Me:Â Okay.
HJ:Â I have to pick up something for the Maverick.
Me: Okay. Cool.
HJ:Â I need some coupling baskets.
Me:Â How much do they run?
HJ:Â About $6 each.
Me: Cool. Go get your collecting baskets.
HJ: (demonstrating) There’s the engine, the corresponding basket and then the gas tank.
Me: (regaining consciousness) Yeah, I don’t care. Just get your chrome baskets and leave me out of it.
HJ: They’re exhaust collector gaskets.
Me: Then why do you keep calling them baskets? That’s weird. I don’t understand you. Sometimes I think you say things just to confuse me.
HJ: I haven’t said baskets once. I said gaskets. You’ve been saying baskets.
Me: I don’t know what you’re talking about. You said basket.
HJ: I wouldn’t say basket. It’s gasket.
Me:Â Whatever, car guy.
Then
Me: When I run, I’ve been getting lightheaded. It’s driving me crazy. It’s kind of scary.
HJ:Â Why?
Me: Really? Why? Because I feel like I’m going to pass out.
HJ:Â And then?
Me: And then?!? And then I’ll have to call you. Once I regain consciousness. Hopefully the dogs will protect me.
HJ: Maybe they’ll run away.
Me: It’s like my head is full of air. It’s such a strange feeling.
HJ: That sounds more like you’re airheaded.
Me: No, lightheaded. Like I breathed in an entire balloon only without helium.
HJ:Â Why would you do that?
Me: I don’t!!! It’s how I feel!
Haha, so funny!
And 100% true. That’s my life.
Sounds to me just like a conversation with Uncle Grandpa!
“Who’s getting a horse?
“Nobody Dad. They are getting a divorce!”
You got married again? To who? He died? When? I gotta take a nap and eat breakfast.
horse … divorce
take a nap and eat breakfast.
Funny stuff!! Might as well laugh as cry, eh?
I want a whistle
Hahahaha! That makes so much sense in the confusion of life with Uncle Grampa, my mom (soon enough) and our conversations.
Wow. I totally can’t relate to this at all. My husband and I understand each other perfectly at all times.
…and then I wake up.
According to my sister: “Advice for the perfect relationship. Step 1, find someone who you don’t understand and who doesn’t understand you. Step 2, make sure every conversation is packed full of ineffective communication. Step 3, move in together.”
Hahaha!! Then we shall be married forEVER!!!!
Priceless. I know these conversations too well.
I clearly heard gasket.
That’s because you have male parts. He said basket. I swear.
He’s totally egging you on. I do it to my mother all the time because she just can’t keep track of names, events…words. What kind of conversation would you have with her over the phone, I wonder….
What’s her number?
