Listening to Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”…
Me: “That’s YOU! You have ‘all the right junk, in all the right places.'”
Eric: “Yeah.”
(Pause)
Eric: “I have you. Right here.”

Fact.
On why he likes Eric…
Maybe We CAN’T Finish Each Other’s Sentences
Eric: “So my mom has a really good jeweler…”
Me: “My ring size is 7!”
Eric: “…who can fix that necklace you broke.”
Me: “Oh.”
COincidence is JOincidence with a “C”
Dating and living with a type 1 diabetic has been very educational. I now have no problem recognizing the symptoms of a low blood sugar. When it happens, Eric becomes very quiet and unresponsive, his eyes glaze over, and he is just generally disconnected from what’s happening around him. And there is a very clear pattern to the timing of these episodes.
They happen whenever I start talking.
This is Entirely Healthy
Who told him?
Tar Mat
Eric’s flight (to Georgia, not Florida. Apparently.) was delayed yesterday.
It wasn’t. Eric has spent 32 years on earth thinking that airplanes sit on a mat of tar before takeoff.
When the Cat’s Away…
You Really Backed Yourself Into a Corner There
Eric: “I was going to make a joke on Facebook about how you’re now 2 years older than me again, but I didn’t think you’d want me to say your age on social media.”
Me: “Why wouldn’t I want you to say my age?”
Eric: “Well because…”
Me: “Because…??”
Eric: “Because…”
Eric Tries to Fit In
Last night texts were flying back and forth on the family text chain, to which Eric was recently added. He’s going to the golf Masters this weekend so, feeling like one of the gang, he texted the family mid-convo to see if they wanted anything.
An hour later, after no response…
I Know What You Meant
Today we went over to Eric’s old apartment to get rid of the last of his furniture before his lease ends on Thursday.
Eric’s super friendly neighbor (seeing us load the elevator): “Oh hey, man! Oh no, you’re moving?”
Eric: “Unfortunately, yeah. I’m moving in with my girlfriend.”
(Pause while I stand there awkwardly)
Eric: “Oh! I mean fortunately.”
