Yes, I'm Listening.
October 18, 2016
Yes?
Hello?
Are you even listening?
Do you know what I just said?
I think not
You know what you just said?
Yes
You said Yes
Yes what?
I didn’t agree to that…
Well, you said yes
You sure did.
You said yes
But you don’t even know what for.
Will you take out the trash?
“Yes”
Even if it’s you?
“Yes”
Does this dress make me look fat?
“I’ve told you before- Yes…..”
Do you hate me? Why don’t you ever listen?
“Yes?
Will you marry me?
“Yes”
But….
But, will you love me if I say yes?
………………
“Wait… What did you say?”
