"Second Life"

I hope to do several posts a week containing snippets of our conversations. The first post is the one that most recently comes to mind. Just last night, we discussed the fact that he bought Rayban Wayfarers with gradient lenses. Yes, GRADIENT. I joked to him that only girls should wear those, and he should have listened to me and ordered the all black ones. Of course, he didn't listen and now he's sending back the ones he ordered to get what I had suggested to him in the first place.

Me: "When are you going to learn to listen to me?"
Chip: "Can it wait until our second life together?"
Me: "What if we don't have another life together?"
Chip: "Of course we will. We're going to do this over and over again for eternity."
Me: "So, technically this life now, could be our second, or third or fourth life together already. And what if you promised to listen to me in the last life we had? Yeah. Don't go there."
Chip: Silence. "Oh damn."
