Two girls, aged 5-7, discuss what to do:
A: Let's play with dollies.
B&C: Yeah, let's play with dollies.
A: Let's give them a bath.
B: Yeah, let's give them a bath.
C: The water's hot.
A: Let's boil them!
B: Yeah, let's boil them!
C: Let's boil them until teir skin comes off!
This story was the ending for our sociolinguistics lecture to make us come the next week to hear the background for the story. I am so going!
-----
Last spring (9.2. to be exact) I went for a coffee with A. As a result I ranted here about the not so splendid ending of that social experiment (can be found on page five at the present time). Those of you not familiar with it (or don't remeber it), a summary: a co-student A asked me for a coffee one autumn, I declined with what was very much an excuse. He asked again the fallowing spring, me not being able to think of anything, said yes but with a condition that I woudl only do as a friend, nothing more. We went for a coffee, he stares at me the whole time, I stare at everything else but him, the conversation is awkward and I end up claiming of going to my sister's just to prevent him from following me home.
The story continues: he's on the same sociolinguistics course as I am and today after the lecture on my way to the library he caught up with me. We talked about the above-mentioned story I still find extremely funny (yes, I know I have a twisted sense of humour) and other things (in a twenty second walk I managed to express my hatred and sexism towards men twice; I'm good...!) and went to the library (he held the first door open for me so I noted that this means I have to hold the second for him). In the lobby we departed thus:
S: A man holding a door for me.. I find it patriarchal and condescending. A looong minus from me.
A: Well, now I know in the future not to do so.
S: We'll see.
A: Well, I'm now going to get coffee but before that I have to say something you'll probably give another long minus: I think you look very beautiful today.
S: A very questionable minus.
A: I thought it would have been a very large plus.
S: Only for gal, sorry. Bye.
A: Bye.
I reject him and he says something like this to me? What?!
