Conversations with my Imaginary Boyfriend

One of the semi-regular things I want to post on here are conversations with my imaginary boyfriend, that masculine figure of my imagination who is wonderfully kind and nerdy. Today my imagination took us here:

Me: Want to take a walk in empty buildings and look for change in vending machines?

Imaginary Boyfriend: Sure!

Nice and Squishy

I am a speech pathologist working with an awesome 7-year-old kid who has moderately severe autism. He has given me some of the best compliments I've ever received, including: "You have good hair," "You have dimples just like me," and a recent favorite, "You look nice and squishy." Umm, thanks? This compliment challenged me because it was so sincere, but being "squishy" just hasn't been one of my goals in life. I fight the squish! But he said "nice and squishy," not fat and squishy or gross and squishy. An honest compliment, and after some thought, I happily accept it.

This kid is great. I'm not supposed to say it or admit it even to myself, but he's kind of my favorite.
