I was a bundle of nerves about meeting this girl. What would I say? How can I keep the conversation going? Would she even like me? All I had was the ability to say "hello."
When I met her she started talking. She didn't stop talking. She said "Heyyyy, look at this cutie patootie over here! You wanna sandwich? I bet you do, eh? Eh? Come on!" which immediately made me smile and laugh. I said "sure!" and it flew on from there!
Many hours and sandwiches later, she had told me dozens of stories about absolutely nothing.
The middle of one was like "...so he goes into the room and I'm like dude, what? Don't go in there! You'll get your head bit off! and he was like duhh... I'm lookin' for my shoe. I told him if you go in there bud, you'll lose a lot more than your shoes! But he went in anyway and...."
Stories about absolutely nothing... and I loved them. This went on for hours and I had a wonderful time with her company. To this day I think of her telling stories while I'm in bed in the morning and it makes me smile. Then I'd open my eyes and she's right there, talking in my ear saying "Eyyy it's my sleeping baby boy over here! How you doin? You good? Here's a good morning smooch!" and she'd kiss me, before talking for ages more. I would then lay there with my eyes closed, listening to her going on and on and on about nothing, and it sounded amazing.
