Matt and Janet had been together so long they’d argue about the weather, or what was normal. They had a classic mismatch of approaches. Janet always summarized towards the dramatic, like “it’s never this hot.” Matt was the king of the counter example, of when it had been. “Oh, come on, there are always two or three days in May … ”
Janet would quickly settle into an assumed expertise. “Don’t go to Spain in April. It’s still too cold.” Matt would immediately envision the counter examples, southern Spain vs. northern Spain. The weather is variable in April. They have hot days too.
And then there was data. Matt was always able to find data to counter prove Janet. But never before she had moved on to another subject and lost interest.
