we've 9 of them, actually

Earlier this evening, there was a knock on my door. After dashing into the other room for pants (c'mon, we all do this), I stuck my head out. Oops, the neighbour's son's girlfriend had the wrong side of the duplex. No problem. Before I ducked back inside, I glanced at the sky.

Me: "Hey, look how bright Venus is."

Neighbour's Grown Son: "What?"

Me: "Over there. Wow. Really bright tonight."

The Girlfriend looks.

NGS: "What is it?"

Me: "Venus, the planet. See?"

NGS, impatient: "What's Venus?"

Me: "The planet Venus."

Girlfriend: "The planet of looooove."

NGS shrugs.
