(I stopped by my aunt’s to drop some stuff she asked me to bring before going home. She has 19-year-old twin sons.)
Me: “Aunt [Name]! I’m here!”
Aunt: “Hi, Sweety, Thank you so much. So sorry to bother you, dear.”
Me: “Oh! Come on, anything for my family. Here, I know you love chocolates.”
Aunt: “Oh, I love you!”
Me: *hugs her* “Love you, too.”
(During this exchange, my cousins were sitting there watching TV. Then this happens.)
Cousin #1: *staring at the screen* “Hey [Cousin #2]? Go to h***.”
Cousin #2: *staring at the screen* “Yeah. You, too.”
Me: *confused* “What was that?”
Aunt: *giggling* “That’s how they say they love each other. Twins are weird like that.”
Me: “No, it’s cute. It’ll be cuter if they say ‘I love you’ though.”
Cousins #1 & #2: *both at the same time* “Boys don’t say that. Only girls do.”
Me: “Yup. Absolutely weird.”
