Girl Talk

He Plans, She Plans

Posted February 21st, 2008 | 10:45 am | By David Kopp | No Comments

The ol’ Battle for the Remote has been replaced – at least in the case of wedding planning – with the Battle for the Mouse.

"Click the – no the – aw… go back."
"Hang on."
"There was a – now we can’t – aw…"
"Relax."
"Well, don’t pay for it yet."
"It doesn’t make a difference." Click
"Aw!"
"Where are you going?"
"I’m getting on the laptop."

I, of course, am on the laptop.
