On the porch with my boy

ME: Haven't said this too often lately, but I love you.

S: Huh? Oh, OK.

ME: [my eyebrows hit my hairline]

S: [glancing up to see if I'm still talking--can he hear my eyebrows?] Yeah, uh, ok. I know. I'll b.r.b. [He goes into the house]

ME: [head shake and snort]

And so it goes.
