Me: I will never get it, you a republican. You are anti-government.

He: Yes, and not a Christian tea party and I believe in less government.

Me: And still you want this race about abortion

He: I have never approved of abortion.

~

Me: That sign may be going just a bit too far.

He: Baby killers! For me, that is what this is all about.

Me: "I wouldn't get an abortion, but I didn't need to as you got fixed," I shout!

He: Baby killers all of them, they are!

~

Me: Isn't getting fixed killing any babies we may have had?

He: Have you heard about how abortion works, tearing limbs

Me: Should it be up to the government or you? This is so sad!

He: Some things need to be decided by men. Give it to the Johns and Jims.

~

Me: Anti-government John you mean? Moving on! No more politics!

He: Okay with me, we will never agree!

Me: That's right. Can we plant this?

He: I'm too busy to help right now see.

~

Me: I have been waiting for weeks

He: It is the end of my show!

Me: We don't have enough soil, you know.

He: "It is enough," he squeaks.

~

Me: Hold this here, while I pour the dirt.

He: I don't want to, as it will get my shirt!

Me: This pot needs more dirt, I told you!

He: We have enough dirt, I told you, Boo!

~

Me: Okay, there is still some left.

He: Who knows best?

Me: You can be right now and then you pest!

He: Will you pick that up? Heft!

~

Me: Are you busy tomorrow?

He: Mowing. I want you to help.

Me: Help what? Mow?

He: It doesn't sound like it! Welp!

~

Me: The new Trump commercials are comical

He: We better stop as we will never agree

Me: Stupid is more like it. It's typical.

He: This is just the beginning you see.

~

Me: Okay, maybe

He: Love you, I do!

Me: Whose idea was it to have such a large yard? We shall see.

He: You, as you wouldn't want to be too close to the field, do you?

~

Me: I am looking forward to this weekend, see.

He: What are you doing again?

Me: Baby shower for Dee

He: Then the graduation.

~

Me: Goodnight

He: Sleep tight

Me: Love you brat

He: Sassafrat?
