Conventional Standards

True Story. 

…………………

Friend:     By the way, I’m dating someone.

Me:     That’s great! From work or on-line? 

Friend:     Neither really…

Me:     OK. How long has it been?

Friend:     Few weeks, I think. Actually, maybe four months.

Friend:     Wow! Well done! That’s very encouraging news!

Friend:     Yeh, well. You?

Me:    No.

Friend:     Yeh, you’re fussy. I’m trying to let go of my standards. 

Me:    Whatever you do, don’t tell her that.
