You know what's weird?

Boys never say goodnight.

Not first, anyways.

Whenever I'm talking to someone of the male species and they go to bed or something they just don't answer back.  Or they'll be like going to bed and that's it.

In any relationship - I mean with close guy friends, male acquaintances, boyfriend - all of 'em.  At the end of a conversation they're never like okay I'm gonna go, goodnight!

Which is what I say at the end of pretty much every evening conversation.

Because I'm a girl?  

No, I think it's just me.

When I was younger (and maybe still sometimes now...) before I would go to bed I would get SO upset if my mom didn't say goodnight back to me.  I still get kind of annoyed when people don't say it back.

I need that confirmation...that the other person is recognizing that I am leaving and is affirming it by sending me off with a goodnight.

That's weird.

That also might be a little bit...what's the word...self absorbed?

Whatever.

I realize the world doesn't revolve around me...

But you should still say goodnight.
