Deep Conversation

The depth of the conversation around here is almost frightening at times. Here are some examples:

Context: Kris & I doing homework. Conversation over the course of the evening could possibly have been classified as a Whine-Fest.

Me: "I feel like I’m constantly behind."

Kris: "I don’t understand why. You don’t even spend that much time doing homework."

Me: "That would be why."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Context: Kris & I riding home from Bowling Green talking about life after college. Kris expostulating on wanting the entire job market open to her, not just health care administration.

Kris: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Me: "I do."

Kris: "I do too!" (then looking at me somewhat startled after realizing what she just said)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Context: Kris & I riding home from Bowling Green discussing how our outlooks on life have changed recently.

Kris: "That was an epitome for me."

Me: "Epitome?" (going hysterical)

Kris: "Epiphany! Would you accept epiphany, Sharon?" (reaching over and grabbing my hand and shaking it)

Me: "I would." (barely able to see to drive)

Kris: "I'm trying to philosophize here! I’m not used to philosophizing."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah, you don't want to stick around too long. You might get lost in the depths.
