In her current romance novel the phrase, “she noticed he had pitched a tent” was used. She was amused by it because she hadn’t heard that phrase since she was in h.s.
She went out of her way to keep using it every chance she could with me.
How long since you have pitched a tent?
Do you remember how to pitch a tent?
Let’s go camping, I’ll let you pitch the tent.
Then as I was cleaning up in the morning I noticed something unusual. I told her that a few hours out might help keep it from getting worse. She agreed. I put on my underwear and she says, are you pitching a tent or is that what you’ve always looked like unlocked? It’s been so long I can’t remember.
And of course every dig comes with a good laugh from her. One of our conversations went something like,
Me: you have no idea what it’s like to deal with when a young lad pitches an uncontrollable tent.
Her: yeah right.
Me: seriously, your in class and the bell rings and you can’t stand to leave without everyone noticing. It can be embarrassing because you can’t control it and girls tease you just like your doing to me.
Her: why can’t you control it? Honestly guys and their penises have a strange relationship.
Me: how did you wrangle me into such a conversation? There’s no way you could ever understand.
Her: I know it’s just fun to watch you being frustrated.
