A Normal Relationship

"Normal? Who ever got anywhere by being normal?" —Charles (Wallace?), the Brainchild, from the Tick

So the story goes. Boy meets girl.

BOY: Hi.

GIRL: Hey.

BOY: I like you.

GIRL: Ok.

BOY: Want to dance?

GIRL: Ok.

BOY: *hates to dance*

GIRL: *loves to dance*

BOY: This was fun. We should date.

GIRL: 'K.

BOY: Bye.

GIRL: C-ya, bye.

BOY: *walks home*

So the story goes.

I've never had a relationship like that. Usually, I date girls I've known for awhile and just grow to absolutely adore. I don't think I've missed much, but sometimes I wonder.
I like to hum so that my teeth vibrate.
Huh, maybe I do have broad shoulders.
