Me: What's good?
Him: What's good?
Me: *looks at phone* Hello? Yeah? Yeah, what's good?
Him: You mean how are you?
Me: No..no. I'm pretty sure I mean What's good?
*silence*
Me: Are you okay?
Him: Yes. Why?
Me: *sigh* This intro is all wrong. Something wrong with how I started.
Him: I just don't think that's appropriate.
Me: Huh?
Him: When you first meet someone you don't greet them that way. We're both college educated. We should be speaking as such.
Me: Hmpf. Let me call you back. (translation: Let me not call you back)
The very next day the man sends a text message to me with the forbidden greeting "What's good?". Okay so pause...perhaps it's an olive branch. A little jokey joke, Something to break the ice. Either way, I wasn't feeling it. So I kindly let him know that our prior conversation was never to occur again. I told him that a plethora of slang terminology would tumble out of these lips of mine on the daily. That he is he never to instruct me on what type of vernacular to use. He told me to grow the fuck up. I told him I'd call him back when I did.
Weeks later.
I still haven't grown up yet, ya'll.
