I probably have more friends than anyone. Anyone who sees things my way is my friend. If your opinion differs then you cease to be my friend. So let's not talk so that we can remain friends longer.

Expect me to respond to you exactly.

For instance:

Her: "Hey do you mind if I borrow this really quick?" Reaches down for whatever...

Me: "YES."

Her: "Uh..."

There are probably twenty scenarios in which I really do mind.

What I need is:

Her: "May I borrow your Scripto .5 fountain pen to write a note?"

instead.

How to love your ten year old son.

Often you tell me you love me and I don't seem to care.
It is not true.
It is just not acceptable input.
Do you want to show affection?
Bring me a paperclip that you twisted up into something original.
Give it to me.
Say: "I thought you might like this."
Smile.
Walk away.
Don't touch my shoulder as you go... I know you want to.
But watch as I invent 5,000 new things with that very paperclip.
Tomorrow we need to go buy more paperclips.
Next week you will hate paperclips.
But I will know that you love me.

It's OK if I don't want to go outside. I'm four hours in to studying how the various pieces of my Legos can be rearranged. It may take four more hours.

I don't like looking at what I'm looking at. I will just put my hands over my ears until it goes away.

I'm not looking you in the eye because I don't trust you. I don't trust you. I'm not looking you in the eye. They're not related. They just are.

When you chew your food, I want to vomit.

I'm going to love my dog more than you.

I could read at the age of three and then that's all I wanted to do for twelve years straight.

I have no idea what you are talking about...

OH! Did you just mention hydrodynamics? Wow! I love hydrodynamics! Did you know the narrow bore, often called a capillary tube, is dipped into a liquid. If the liquid “wets” the tube (with zero contact angle), the liquid surface inside the tube forms a concave meniscus, which is a virtually spherical surface having the same radius, r, as the inside of the tube?

I'm telling you all the things you are doing wrong... Because I actually care.

You changed the way we do things? Why? What did I ever do to you?

When you touch me in the same spot three times I cringe. Actually, when you touch me at all really.

It is not how you say anything, it is exactly what you say.

I can always see my nose when I am looking at something else.
