Mike: "Ew."
Me: ?
Mike: "Look."
Me: "Ew."
Mike: "Can you name all four members of Duran Duran?"
Me: "Four?"
Mike: "Yes."
Me: "The current line-up?"
Mike: "Yes."
Me: "That's not canonical."
Mike: "But can you name them?"
Me: (SIGH)
Mike: "Go on."
Me: "Are you testing me? Because Aunt ***** did that, and look what happened to her." (Note: We must call her Aunt ***** because she's apparently lucid enough to sue. In fact, I'm not even going to explain what Aunt ***** did, other than to say that I once had a ***** aunt who took me and my cousin in for INTELLIGENCE TESTING one summer when I was vacationing at her house - vacationing! - because she wanted to prove that her child, who had unforgivably failed at being the oldest grandchild, was at least smarter than the heir apparent. The results were not in her favour. Meanwhile, I'm just grateful that I have four aunts with five-letter names. My butt is better covered than the shopping mall toilet seats she would sheathe while we bounced from foot to foot.)
Mike: "Yes. Can you name them?"
Me: "Well, there'd still be Simon le Bon. Nick Rhodes. Probably John Taylor. Then it's either Roger or Andy. Hopefully Roger."
Mike: "And which was the one nobody liked?" (I'm sure I blogged about this before, how Back in the Day - which I really doubt is an expression that originated with hip hop, by the way - girls in any Durannie clique would divide the D2 band members amongst themselves, sticking the weakest cliquee with Andy. Why? Maybe because he was married? Or had extra-puffy bangs? Or cared more about American guitar riffs than synthesized berchon moves?)
Me: "Andy."
Mike: "So, he's gone. You're safe."
Me (as I stop typing to face him): "HONEY. I'm a little too alpha to have that concern. Just how unpopular do you think I was in high school?"
Something tells me we shouldn't have spent all those hours looking through photo albums while at my parents'. (Notice the lack of photos in this post. My cover may not be completely blown.)
