Are you? I can't remember. [...] And losing to me might mean a very pink bedroom, and lots of windows you'll need to hang curtains on, and a huge kitchen and no entertainment room.

Yes, I think she does. No, scratch that. I'm sure she does. I wouldn't mind being a bridesmaid. It would be nice to see someone get a happy ending.

Do you? I can't remember about that either. Are you sure you wouldn't do something more exciting than climb fifteen stories? Like go to a party, drink and dance?

How could you forget? I guess I'll need to remind you about that too. [...] Damn. I'd miss the entertainment room. What about the big yard?

Yeah, a wedding would be nice. I always thought I looked pretty good in a suit. [Cursor blink, and quickly typed, before he loses his nerve.] Do you ever think about us? Getting married, I mean.

Yeah, I do. What's more exciting than climbing fifteen stories to sneak into my girlfriend's hotel room? I don't dance, and parties aren't really my thing. Not unless you're there.

I'm forgetful. I can't help it. I might need a lot of reminding about things. [...] Does the big yard get a promise that you'll mow it on weekends?

You might look handsome in a suit. I wouldn't know. I haven't seen you in one now that you're all grown up. [Pause.] You've never mentioned that before. When we were kids, you didn't seem like you wanted to think about it at all.

Are you sure? I'm sure I can pretend to be the social butterfly for one night. Climbing fifteen stories would just end up with you in my bed, and how fun could that possibly be?

You might, huh? Luckily I don't mind reminding you about whatever you've forgotten. [...] Sure. I think I can manage weekends.

[Cursor blink as he thinks about this.] You're right. I guess I haven't had much reason to wear a suit in a while. We should change that. I could take you out to dinner someplace nice, where I'd wear a suit and you'd wear a dress. [Pause.] When we were kids, marriage seemed like something only adults thought about. It felt like we were too young. But [...] things change.

I'd choose your bed over a party any day, and I think we can manage to have some fun. Maybe. If we put our minds to it.

You shouldn't say that before you're sure what it is that I've forgotten. I might make you remind me of lots of things, all for days on end.

You need to talk to Evie more often. You're being really, really agreeable. You know I don't need you to take me places, right? I don't need any of that as long as I have you. [Cursor blink.] I try not to hope for things.

I'm not sure. Remember, you're going to be tired, needing a nap and your bad knees are going to need a few prescription-strength Advils.

Doesn't matter. Can't have you forgetting, can we? I'll remind you of whatever I have to, no matter how much or how long it takes.

I think I'm trying to get to the point where I can be agreeable without talking to Evie. [...] I know, but I want to take you places. I've wanted to for a while, but things keep coming up, and I don't want anything to get in the way of us anymore. [Pause.] But do you ever think about it? Someday, is it something you'd want?

There's nothing wrong with my knees, and I won't be tired. I'll be fine. Good stamina, remember?

Gus will go visit you in jail when you're an old man, and he'll ask you why you're there, and you'll explain that you couldn't help yourself, because mommy kept asking you to remind her of everything, and you just couldn't stand it anymore and snapped.

Right now you still need Evie training wheels? [...] Okay. Wherever you want to go, but remember it doesn't take much to impress me, not when it comes to you. [A very, very long pause.] No. I don't think about things I can't have. And you can't ask that. That's cheating,

Viagra is for stamina, Luke. Do you need that too?

You're a terrible storyteller, and I mean that in the most loving way possible. You can ask me to remind you of everything ever and I'd never snap.

Maybe a little. She's the most rational out of everyone we know. [...] Okay. I'll try to keep that in mind, but don't hold it against me if I go a little overboard. [Confused cursor blinking.] Why can't you have that? And I'm not cheating. How am I cheating?

[...] Viagra? Really? I'm insulted.

	You just keep challenging me over and over today. Now you're challenging me to be an even worse storyteller, and to try to make you need Viagra. [After ignoring it for a full few minutes.] I'm just going to make you upset if I answer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not doing it intentionally, I swear. Even if your stories are terrible, I'd still want to hear them, and I don't think anything you can do would make me need Viagra. I'm still a young man, thank you very much.

[Extended cursor blink, and quick typing.]

It's okay, Wren. If you don't want-- if that's not something you want, I mean, it's okay. You can just say it.

	Yeah. You're not supposed to tell me if you'd say yes, and I'm not supposed to tell you when or if I'm going to ask. Ruins the surprise. [Audible smile.] That way, when the time comes, I can agonize about you saying no and you can be blissfully oblivious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
