I’m not feeling great, so my boyfriend is getting me some lunch. We have some frozen stuff, but while the outside is hot, the middle isn’t. My boyfriend puts it back into the microwave and — surprise, surprise — it’s hot when it comes out. He then does some “hot potato” to keep it from burning his hands before putting it on the table.

Me: “Why didn’t you grab a tea towel and use that to carry it?”

Boyfriend: *Jokingly* “Because I am a man, and I do stupid stuff and mistake it for courage!”

I burst out laughing.
