Pushing the limits
So I'm sitting here catching up on my Smallville episodes, and the phone rings. Kat's calling me because she's bored and wants me to entertain her. After a few minutes it comes out that she's been gradually doing things that she knows will bother me with the intention of trying to see what my limit is, to see which buttons she can push to set me off.
I've heard of this before, it's the same principle that the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days was based on, and is one of those little things that women do to drive men crazy. This fits into the same category as the ever popular Trap Question, where the only correct answer is one that compliments the asker. Kat and I addressed this early in our relationship, that I wont be caught up in those kinds of questions. Whenever she asks one, I just point out that it's a trick question and it puts us on even ground for an honest answer (huge relationship saver, I highly recommend it).
Anyway, the conversation continued on for a while until this happened.
I finally ended the conversation by fighting fire with fire. I went into the bathroom and started taking a dump, and then informed her that I was in the bathroom taking a dump.
She scowled at me for playing dirty and then decided to go find something else to do, hanging up after saying good bye.
I love this woman.

Kat: Would you break up with me if I built a shrine to you in my bedroom?
Me: No, but I would definately question your mental stability.
Kat: What if I made it out of cheese?At this point I started laughing so hard that by the time I was done we had moved on.
