*we*

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to lose track of their own existence as soon as they enter a relationship?
For my birthday a friend of mine called me. I was really surprised because I haven't talked to him in a long time and it felt good to hear his voice again. But one of the first things he said was "*We* just want to wish you a happy birthday" Silence. "A. and I" And I'm like oh! his girlfriend, right! I met her once for ten minutes and that was probably two years ago. I remember I liked her. But I doubt that we would recognize each other if we meet on the streets again. So I'm saying "thanks" thinking "yay, I kinda remember that it feels good to say *we* but don't you think it is a little out off place here?!" But it's a short phone call because I'm in the middle of cooking, opening bottles and answering questions (I'm always late when it comes to party preparations) and I don't wanna get started on the *we-issue*.
Two of my best friends recently got together and they are doing the same thing ("Honey! Look! There's the commercial *we* like so much." and "No, *we* are not drinking shots anymore."). But they mostly do it because they know how annoying I think it is. We totally agreed on that back when we three were singles.
And honestly, if I hear another guy saying "*We* are pregnant." I might just start screaming.
