brini

Mike was watching TV, flipping channels, and I was here at the computer. I heard Brini Maxwell and realized that was where he stopped, he had been watching it for a few minutes. I sat here thinking, surely he’s not really gonna watch that? I went in to the living room and stood there for a sec just seeing if he was really watching. I said, “What are you watching?”

This is how the conversation went after that:

Mike: Is this girl for real?
Me: What do you mean by “for real?”
Mike: She doesn’t really act like that does she? It’s a spoof type show, right? Gotta be.
Me: Well, she doesn’t act like that in real life, of course.
Mike: Well, I’ve never seen her.
Me: Uh, you know that’s a guy, right?
Mike: What’s a guy??
Me: Her. Him. Brini Maxwell. Guy.
Mike: Bullshit.
Me: No, it’s a guy in drag.
Mike: Oh come on, it is not.
Me: Is too.
Mike: How do you know? Bullshit.
Me: Everyone knows. That’s what’s supposed to be funny about it. Its a guy.
Mike: *Looking at me suspiciously*
Me: Really, its a guy. Look at the hands. Hell, look at the ADAMS APPLE.
Mike: Son of a bitch!
Me: You sound mad.
Mike: No, I just can’t believe I didn’t know.
Me: You thought he was cute, huh?
Mike: NO. I never thought any HE was CUTE.
Me: I mean, when you thought he was a she, you thought SHE was cute.

Mikes face turned red, then…
SILENCE
SILENCE
SILENCE
until I busted out laughing and left the room.
