7. “It’s from my bro.”
You get a text message. Let’s assume it’s from a girl you knew from before the beginning of time, aka the day you met your perfect, amazing girlfriend. It’s fun, it’s intriguing, it’s dare we say even a little sexy. As soon as you read it, a wry smile spreads over your lips like cold cream through black coffee. Your girlfriend, perceptive as she is, cuts the tension with a resounding: “What?”
You, still with your grin, say: “Oh, nothing.”
She responds: “No, who is that text message from?”
You aren’t gonna say: “Just some girl I used to know.” So you say: “It’s from my bro.”
Obviously, Paulie or Derek or John couldn’t inspire that reaction in you, but take Shaggy’s advice and deny, deny, deny.
