I was hanging out with my friend in his backyard and we heard some incredibly loud birds. I asked if he knew what they were and he said he thought robins.

I suggested we should go out with [some other friends who recently got into birding] and he wasn't on board...

"Ehhh birding is like....you gotta go out to the woods and walk around until you hear one...so you're just kinda chillin there..."

I interrupted him. "Dude...you love hanging out. You love hiking. You LOVE the woods."

"Yeah. I realized as soon as I started talking that I'd love it but I just let my mind form an argument anyway for some reason"
