My girlfriend wanted to try role-playing in bed last night.

I told her I'd be the mailman, but she'd have to wait outside naked and I'd just leave the package on the porch.

My girlfriend told me she wanted to grow some herbs in the garden.

I told her I was more into deep rooting and extensive ground cover.

I've been dating a botanist, and she's been teaching me about the art of cultivation.

Apparently, I've been nurturing a weed.

I've been dating a girl who's a skilled paleontologist, and she's always taking me to her lab to show me her latest excavation project, which involves carefully removing layers to expose what's been hidden for a long time.

She says it's all about getting to the core of the matter, and I have to admit, it's been a real discovery process.
