Trapped!

Gllen likes to repeat things. If I make a funny sound or say a certain phrase, he sometimes repeats immediately. Sometimes, when I ask him a question and he doesn't feel like answering, he'll just repeat my question back to me. It's extremely annoying when he does that. Hello, immaturity!

Today, we were having a banter about windows. He wants a house with no windows. I love windows. He denied my love of windows. I told him "I always am pulling the shades up!" He did the stupid repeating thing and said that same statement back to me. Cha right!

"Oh," I said, "So you were the one that pulled up the shades today?" I gestured to the windows which were pouring in the late evening sunlight.

"Yes." He said, decisivily.

"Hmm. So then it was YOU that knocked down the shade and left in on the floor. Maybe YOU should FIX it!" I was triumphant in my argument. He then looked over at the window in question, which did have a roller shade lying on the floor, because when I had pulled it open it broke free from its moorings and tumbled down. I had left it because I wasn't tall enough to get it back on the fixtures, hoping that Gllen would help me repair it. He stared wordlessly at it, no argument coming to mind. "HA!" I exclaimed. "You have been tricked!" He started to garble out some half-formed excuses, but I pounced quickly. "Fix it!" He retreated to his office. Beaten at his own game.

He came back out a few seconds later and helped me fix the fallen shade. Exactly what I wanted in the first place.
