The Gentle Art of Conversation

So the GM1 comes home with this pile of forms to fill out for the upcoming retirement, and promptly drops them on my desk.

Me: What's this?
Him: Some stuff I have to fill out.
Me: And it's on my desk because.....?
Him: Well, your handwriting is better. Mine sucks. You tell me all the time mine sucks.
Me: (in full bitch mode after a hard day of slinging fairy floss) Yeah, but it would have been nice if you'd asked me and not just assumed I'd do it. When did I become your personal secretary?
Him: (missing the chance to point out that I usually demand to do all the form-filling-out because yes, his penmanship sucks bad and in addition I am a near-pathological control freak who needs to do everything... but he skips this step and skillfully goes right for the guilt) I'm sorry. I didn't mean.... *accompanied by accomplished downcast yet extremely cute demeanor*
Me: (now wracked with remorse at my obviously wifely neglect) No, I'm sorry, I was snarky for no good reason and....
Him: Are we going to go see that movie?
Me: *whiplashing at subject change* Wha? What movie?
Him: You know, Snarky and Hutch?
Me: Starsky. It's Starsky. "Snarky" is a blog thing.
Him: Oh....yeah. But the new one, with Owen Wilson. He's the cool Hutch. The other guy was just.... I dunno, too cheesy.
Me: Hey, watch it! Cheesy is a good thing.
Him: Debatable.
Me: Who would know better? I mean, I AM The Cheese, you know.
Him: You aren't really The Cheese. You just play one on the internet.
Me: How burned exactly do you want your dinner?
Him: You da Cheese, baby. You da Cheese.

Wow. The only other guy I've ever seen who can steal the thunder that fast is my own hubby.
