I can't WAIT until he gets this phone call in a restaurant.

I'm sitting here on the couch, pretending to work on a paper while I'm secretly watching Gossip Girl, and am vaguely cognizant of the fact that Ben's talking to his brother. Soon he gets off the couch, hands me the phone, and proceeds to do five push-ups. Then he takes his phone back and carries on the conversation for another few minutes.

Because all of this is entirely normal at our house.

Robin: So what's that all about?
Ben: What?
R: Oh, I don't know. Doing push-ups in middle of a conversation, maybe?
B: Oh, that.
R: Yes, that.
B: Mike and I have started to bet on our xbox games. Whoever loses has to do push-ups. At the winner's discretion.
R: And Mike just asked you to do your push-ups.
B: Yep.
R: Blink.
R: Blink.
R: I'm so glad I'm a girl.

at least they are off-setting the laziness that would otherwise ensue from playing xbox with a wee bit of physical activity :)

hmm, not a bad way to get in shape. Maybe I'll start a system like that...

I just like that he didn't explain it to you in the first place and just acted like it was totally normal :)
