Everyday KB and I email each other periodic randomness. There is no real purpose to our back and forth. It is not as though we are in need of a daily check in; Since his recent graduation we commute together in the morning and are home at a relatively decent hour each night. No matter the reason for it, the banter gets us through the work day. Sometimes we email each other naughty, er, I mean sweet nothings... others they are one liners from movies. We complain about co-workers, remind each other about chores and plans. You know, couple crap!
In person, KB can be a very wordy...eh, long winded(?) person. Ok, translation- the boy can CHAT! But via email, I have noticed that every once in a while, no matter what I've written, his response is "ok!". Even when the original message is not something that would require an ok for a response. As in "is the moon gonna fall out of the sky this evening?", "ok" unrelated. I should also mention that the ok is followed by a more logical response 10 or so minutes later.
At times I am offended, though I do not mention it. I figure he is busy and cannot respond accordingly just yet. (I personally would just omit the "ok" and wait until I can commit to a complete sentence but hey...that's just me).
Today I decided to test the theory. Is he emailing while distracted?

Laughing my fucking ass off! I used to do this to the ex (the plumber) when we used to argue and I thought he stopped listening. Without missing a beat I would go from talking about the issue to saying some random shit like, "... and then the chicken got run over by a Mattress Truck flying down the street." Sometimes he would catch on... but many times he didn't!
