30 Something

I've been cooking dinner at my bf's house for the past two months. But on last week because of an all weekend cram session I didn't cook. So on Friday he im'd me to ask me if i was cooking on Sunday. I agreed to cook whatever he wants, but because it's been 100 degree weather lately, we were trying to figure out what would not create so much heat in the kitchen. We also discussed his move to a new place. I agreed to assist him with that task. So, I called him Friday evening to ask if he needed me, he didn't. So I called him on Saturday to ask what he had decided on eating. He didn't answer the phone. So on Sunday I got a call asking me to come over. We decided on dinner, but because it was going to take me a while he wanted a snack. I agreed to run to the gas station to get snacks to eat while the dinner was getting ready. I bought the snacks home and quickly turned to walk out to get to the grocery store. My bf: "Thanks." Me: "Yeah." my bf: "THANKS." Me: "your welcome." My bf: "I SAID THANKS." Me: "I SAID YOUR WELCOME." Now, I didn't think anything about this exchange except that maybe he didn't hear me the first time. He took offense to it and told me later that I had an attitude with him. Mind you, he has a window unit and a fan going in his room, of course he didn't hear me. So because of this exchange I had an attitude. He then went on to say that for the past two weekends I've had an attitude. I began to laugh because I didn't know what he was talking about. I couldn't read the paper because I kept laughing. I think that me laughing ticked him off. What made it even more funny was the fact that I'm reading this book called blink by Malcolm Gladwell. In the book he gives an example of how jumping to conclusions can cause us to make terrible decisions. I think that this is a case of jumping to conclusions. Also, I think that maybe he has an attitude about something and he's projecting that bad attitude onto me. I don't know. So, I e-mailed him to let him know that I was offended that he thought I had and attitude. He apologized, but then said that he thought that I've had an attitude all month. Not sure where that comes from.
