I haven’t spoken to my brother in 20 years, not really. Not that we dont converse weekly, its that there is no transfer of actual content of any meaningful nature. Not sure how this all began but we both seem content to leave things as they are.
“Hello?”
“Yes, hi Chris it is your brother”
“You know I have caller ID right?”
“Yes I am aware of that”
“Is Mom/your wife/your kids/everything else ok?”
“Yes”
“So you are just calling to say hi?”
“Yes”
Then it begins
“Well, seeing that all is well let me wish you a good day”
“And a good day to you sir”
“I thank you for your greeting and wish to send you well wishes of my own”
“Thank you for that, you are a goodly fellow”
“I see your goodly fellow and raise you that you a hail fellow well met”
“Your salutation is well received and I say bon chance”
“I accept your bon chance and counter with guten tag”
“Thank you for that and buenos dias to you kind sir”
“Thank you and I hope your day is festooned with goodness and jocularity”
“And I wish for you a day bedazzled with goodness and frivolity”
“I thank you and wish prosperous health”
“Your kind words are well received and I hope that your children are masculine”
There is about 20 minuted of this that goes on before one of us, usually me, just hangs up.
Very similar to the conversations I have with my brother. The only thing missing is the slight hint of hostility.
No hostility here
Ugh…men.
This is how I talk to most of my college friends. The only ones I talk to in greater depth are the ones who can stay up drinking till 5:30 talking about love and whether God exists with me.
PS-Love your site. I check it daily.
TY for the kind words
I never speak to my sisters on the phone. On principal. They are loud mouth bitches.
I have heard that about them
Oh, you are just wonderfully retarded:) I think you may actually be goofier than I.
Tell your friends!
I just wanted to let you know that I am using this convo for a philosophical conversation I am to create between Jean-Paul Sartre and Thomas Aquinas on the nature of human essence. This is for a final exam for the college I attend. I was told not to include small talk in the dialogue… however I too am smart ass and felt this was necessary before the debate really begins.
Thought you should know and the internet misses you.
As always with a smirk and a hint of hostility
Froz1
I always say hi to my Brother too. I raise his skirt if he’s not paying attension. He knows alot of words too, and spanish. I never thought being smart would make him want to wear womens cloths, but he always tells me Im his favorite imbecile, that means little brother in spanish.
