It hasn’t been mean teasing, mind you, and I know the difference. But today on LJ, I sent a message with the first three lines being all Beatles lyrics – to the one person I know who really doesn’t like the Beatles. (And she’s still talking to me. Heh.

I backed up, as did he, and when we were next to each other again I whispered, “You didn’t say ‘please.’”
