Me

What do you mean?

Marinette

Well I was up super late because I'm an idiot, I spent like an hour or two picking up this massive mess!

I was working on a project and next thing I know there's just stuff everywhere! My sewing desk was so bad my mom had to call my phone just so I could find it.

Me

Better than the mess Todd had to pick up last night.

Marinette

Ohhhhh

What did he do?

Me

You don't want to know.

Marinette

Yes I do!!!!!!!!!!

and you still have to tell me why you refuse to text in front of your brothers.

Me

I told you, they are incredibly nosy.

Marinette

Yeah but you never told me what they did to earn that- you call me self-righteous because I always call you out on your bratty attitude

ur a reasonable person, sometimes-ish, so what is the reason behind calling them nosy

Me

A recent example would be when I sent you a video message pertaining to the film Step Brothers, Grayson bothered me all night, asking who I was talking to. It took a week for him to give up.

Need I continue?

Marinette

You have issues

Me

I doubt that, be more specific.

Marinette

Did you just use the word pertain?

Me

I am aware that you aren't fully fluent, but that is the correct word to use in this situation

Marinette

No. I know what it is you idiot, why on earth did you use it

Me

It was fitting. I don't see the issue

Marinette

What app are we using?

Me

SnapChat

Marinette

Who are you talking to?

Me

You.

Marinette

Then why do you so formal!

you don't have to waste time fully writing out the word you or add periods and commas

I'll understand what you mean without all that

Me

Are.

Not 'Then why do you so formal' it's 'Then why are you so formal'

That isn't how you're supposed to write. Rules like punctuation exist for a reason.

Marinette

You just corrected me, does that mean you nderstood what I was trying to say?
