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.
