nate and i have been having this argument about what color pumpkin really is. every time i point out something pumpkin-colored, the conversation is as follows:
nate: that's not pumpkin-colored.
me: totally is.
nate: no.
me: yeah. i'm right.
nate: you're wrong. it's orange.
me: no, pumpkin has more orange in it than orange.
nate: more orange than orange?
me: you know what i meant.
nate: obviously not. besides, that's too dark.
me: what?"
nate: (pointing out something else) now THAT'S pumpkin
me: that's too red.
nate: whatever! there's more red in that than in orange.
me: now you're talking nonsense. more red than orange? listen to yourself.
nate: whatever.
me: whatever.
nate: fine.
me: fine.
nate: be that way
me: i will.
(long pause)
me: (whispered) i'm right.
Back up, Turbo! Take that whole conversation and switch all parts and stage directions to the exact opposite. You always say my pumpkin is too orange. Besides, this is settled anyway. It was a draw, which unfortunately for you, still leaves me in the lead by at least two. Ha. Ha. Ha.
