Actual Conversation I Had Last Evening

Scene: Bunch of folks sitting around, “The Rake’s Song” by The Decemberists playing in the background. I profess my love for the song.

GIRL: I think it’s disturbing that you, as a father, love that song so much.

ME: I think it’s distubing you can’t tell good writing when you hear it.

ZING! Why so harsh anyway? Did the femme deserve it?

Oh and agreed, it is the clear shiny diamond in the rough of that album.

Yeah, she’s the kind of person who takes everything extremely literally, and it really bothers me. Had I not killed that conversation like I did, she would have probably ended up saying that the song would give some people the wrong idea.
