(My boyfriend and I are talking on the phone. He is two years younger than me.)

Boyfriend: “I don’t think so. How do you mean?”

Me: “Well, you tend to be childish, and I tend to be the voice of reason in our relationship.”

Boyfriend: “That’s not true; I can be serious. I can be the voice of reason.”

Me: “No, you’re really not. I tend to be—”

Boyfriend: *interrupts in a sing-song voice* “I’m the voice of reason, I’m the voice of reason, I’m the voice of reason! Wheeeeee!”
