Let me set the scene. It's 1998. It's the last dance of the 8th grade. I am dancing with my 8th grade boyfriend, who is pretty much my first real boyfriend since my Dad thought my 6th grade boyfriend was a kid I was babysitting. Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden comes on which means we'll have to slow dance. It's awkward. It's like I have too many feet and my breath is probably bad and why are our faces so close and what do I look at GOD WHAT DO I LOOK AT?! He's not saying anything and I'm not saying anything and it's so horrible. So I say the first thing that comes to mind. I quote a line from the song that I had always found odd.
Me: I want to bathe with you in the sea?
He didn't hear the question mark. Why didn't he hear the question mark??
8th Grade Boyfriend: You do?
Me: No, no. It's the song.
8th Grade Boyfriend: The song wants to bathe me?
Me: No!
8th Grade Boyfriend: I'm going to go get a drink.
