Matt: Why are you mad at me?
Me: You know why.
Matt: No, I don't.
Me: Maybe if you think about it for awhile you'll figure it out.
Matt: (sighs) can we not do this? Just tell me why you're mad.
Me: Fine.
Matt: ...?
Me: I'm mad because yesterday when I was mad at you, I told you to leave me alone, and you just walked away.
Matt: Your mad because I did what you told me to do?
Me: Usually you care enough to keep asking me what's wrong, but yesterday you just walked away.
Matt: I'm tired of having to pry things out of you.
Me: Well you've already set a prying-precedent and you can't stop now.
Matt: Why?
Me: Because now I expect it!
Matt: What were you even mad about yesterday?
Me: ...I don't know. Nothing I guess. Look, if I say I'm sorry for being mad at you yesterday can we just forget about it?
Matt: Yes
Me: ok
Matt: Well?
Me: Well what?
Matt: Aren't you going to apologize for being mad at me yesterday for no good reason?
Me: I just did!
Matt: No you didn't!
Me: Yes, I did. I said "ok."
Matt: That is not an apology.
Me: (thinks for a few seconds) I think that you are the one who should apologize to me anyways.
Matt: WHAT FOR?
Me: because yesterday when I was mad at you for no good reason and I told you to leave me alone you just walked away.
Matt: If you tell me to leave you alone then I'm going to leave you alone. I'm tired of playing mind-games.
Me: Well I'll just keep being mad at you then... And don't think I won't! I can hold a grudge for years!
Matt: Maybe you should learn to let things go.
Me: No way! Forgiveness is for quitters! And if there's one thing I'm not, it's a quitter.
Matt: But you want me to forgive you?
Me: You're just being ridiculous now. Why do you always have to turn things around? You really need to apologize to me.
Matt: I'm not going to apologize. You are the one that needs to apologize.
Me: I already did. I'm not going to keep saying it over and over again.
Matt: I'm not going to apologize to you.
Me: Fine. I won't apologize to you either.
Matt: Fine.
Me: Fine.... I'm really hungry. Want to go get something to eat?

Absolutely LOVELY. :)
When will Amariah's Creative Advisor be posting his version of the story? =) Did you participate in my giveaway? If you did you need to get over there, pay attention missy. Big hug.
Hysterical! I hope you both read this over, laugh your butts off and apologize to each other and swear never to do it again - until you need a funny blog post, at least! And how is Amariah's Creative Advisor doing these days, anyway?
Ha!!! "...already set a prying-precedent..."
I will definitely be using that line in the future :-)
Cheers,
