Me:Like choose not to use any social media?

Python:Ooooo. Robbie 0, Monty 1.

Me:More like Monty 13548.

Python:Someone’s exaggerating.

Me:Am I really, though?

Python:It makes me feel better if I believe you are.

Me:So you’re admitting that I’m winning by A LOT?

Python:Let’s just move back to what we were talking about before.

Me:Uh huh. *chants* Monty, Monty, Monty!

Python:ANYWAY. I have to admit, I kind of like that you don’t do the whole social media thing. It’s…refreshing. Most people are so busy looking for that picture or counting the likes on their latest update that they forget to live.

Me:I feel the exact same way.

Python:Plus, without being attached to your phone, you get to miss all the Game of Thrones spoilers.

Me:SEE? Maybe I’m not so crazy after all.

Python:Whoa, calm down. I wouldn’t go that far.

Python:Kidding.

Python:Kind of.

Python:Also, Robbie 1, Monty 13548.

Me:YOU ADMIT IT! *screenshot*

Python:Are you going out to Lola’s tonight?

Python:Asking for a friend…

Me:No. Me being at Lola’s last weekend was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Me:Are you going to Lola’s?

Me:Not asking for a friend. I’m curious is all.

Python:My friend was going to go if you were going be there but now he’s just gonna stay in, catch up on sleep. Kids are exhausting.

Me:Tell me about it.

Me:How is that, by the way—being a single dad and all?

Python:Hard. Rewarding. Exhausting. Fulfilling.

Python:He wasn’t planned, in case you were wondering. I’ve never been married, so he’s not from a previous marriage. People always ask that.

Me:Oh. Well, that’s good to know, I guess.
