bringing forth

We were chatting last night just before bedtime. The conversation led to things which when never mentioned, were never known; till last night.

xhua: I found a girl who has similar hands to mine - hairy arms!
This drew attention to her outstretched arms which were generously covered with hair. Straight not straggly.
lux: Oh.
xhua: But mine's better, more organised.
lux: Oh really? That's good. Sadness for her.
xhua: Yes sadness indeed.
Pause
xhua: Good arms. Good hair.

We brushed teeth and peewee-d. I was sitting on the upper deck of our double decker bed (which lower deck she had long since vacated on the excuse that mosquitoes tormented those sleeping in cave-like conditions) and she decided to pursue another relevant topic.

xhua: You know ah, when I was in primary 5, I went for an exam even though I was sick. During the exam I cough cough cough, sneeze sneeze sneeze. I was a nuisance.
lux: Oh my goodness, 5 years after the incident then you admit you were a nuisance.
xhua: The following week those seated around me were all sick.
lux: Ohhh.
xhua: It happened when I was younger before too.
lux: I see.
xhua: I'm a 100% effective vector!
lux: Good to know you're an effective flu messenger.
xhua: I always get sick during exam time.

Both: Good night!
