randomness of my fiance


"Is there such thing as too much Audrey?"
(He was talking about our previous conversation which was also random. He wants paintings that are worth millions and millions of dollars in our future house. He can dream right?)

Next sentence. Same text.
"Random question, can animals get sunburned?"

Me after a sudden eruption of laughter: "How did you think of that?"

Him: "We're the only species that gets sunburned, commits suicide, or cooks its own food. We are truly unique."

More laughter. Speechlessness. 
I think I'll keep him.

*just in case you wanted to know*
According to Tony Barthel, curator of the elephant house and cheetah conservation house (whatever that means) at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, some animals do in fact get sunburned. Animals with exposed skin are more susceptible to burning than animals with feathers, scales, or dense fur. Basically, elephants, rhinos, and "freshly shorn" sheep are at risk. Little research has been devoted to this topic.

Was he asking, "Is there such thing as too much?" . . . or was he asking if there was such thing as "too much Audrey"? Like, as in he can't get enough of you.
