As I was leaving for work this morning:

Him: “Did you hear your cell phone ringing last night, around 5?”
Her: “Yes, but I was napping and didn’t feel like getting up. I haven’t even checked to see who it was yet.”
Him: “It was probably your boyfriend.”
Her: “You know, it probably was. I specifically instructed him to call me at home, on a Sunday, around dinnertime.”
Him:: “Because you’d be alone then.”
Her: “Precisely. Completely free to talk.”
Him: “And you made sure to leave it charging next to the computer.”
Her: “Yes, for maximum visibility and ease of access.”
Him:”And you gave him my cell phone number too, just in case you didn’t answer.”
Her: “Yes, of course. Why? Did you forget to give me a message?”

We chuckle.

Him: [pause] “Um, maybe you should get a boyfriend. I think you deserve one.”
Her: “Really? Why?
Him: “Because I just remembered that it was me who called you. I accidentally hit the send button from inside my pocket...”
Her: “Dork.”
Him: “Yeah.”
Her: “I’m blogging this, you know.”
Him: “Yeah, I know.”
