The Boy: I love her.
Me: I know you do.
The Boy: She’s the perfect women.
Me: I know she is.
The Boy: But she really is! Oh Karren….we have so much in common!

The Boy: And it was Birmingham who were my super Football Manager team. And she’s on The Apprentice, which is my favourite show…
Me: And she’s half Italian…
The Boy: And I’m half French. She gets me …she’s great!
Me: Yeah, ok, I get it …I don’t do this to you with other guys!
The Boy: You have hundreds of guys!
Me: No I do not!
The Boy: Yeah you do…like….*concentrates to remember the male actor I told him about earlier that night*…Conan Firth.
Me: First of all it’s Colin…
The Boy: Oh yeah!
Me: And second of all, I mentioned that I was in love with him when I was a hormanal teenager because he played Mr Darcy…twice.
