These days I've been reading Paul Reiser's wicked book on couplehood..it has really funny anecdotes on what makes couples the unique way they are, and the idiosyncracies they have.
Just last night, I was telling him about how we've officially entered into that weird couple talk-phase. After watching the Phantom, we headed to Glutton's Bay for dinner, and somehow this must be one of the most hilarious convos I had with him in a while
===
Me: Ok, ordered Carrot Cake. Let's split the one plate of rice for the fish, and I'll give you half my carrot cake. (I asked for one plate of rice, thinking how we really should be dieting before the big day)
Him: Ok. *splits the plates into halves of carrot cake and rice*
-After happily eating for a good 10-15 mins-
Him: How much carrot cake did you buy?
Me: $4.
Him: Couldn't you have bought more? I didn't settle for the $8 fish. I ordered the $12 fish. For your craving. And you bought me $4 of carrot cake, to be shared by both of us?
Me: I didn't know you were getting the $12 fish?! SO much food redi, $4 carrot cake enough what! Are you still hungry? Want to get another plate of carrot cake?
Him: No need.
Me: I thought we were supposed to be on a diet. That's why one plate rice, and one plate carrot cake.
Him: Yar, but $4?!?!
Me: Ok fine. Next time, I'll get a $6 carrot cake plate when you get the $12 fish, ok?
Him: I can't believe you got the $4 plate.

You see, when you start quantifying your love for each other in terms of food portions, you've reached the point of bizarre couple-talk. It's just so ridiculous, its unbelievable.
p.s Phantom was incredible! =)
