Before my partner and I started officially dating, we were with a group of friends and strangers (it was a Meetup event), going to a drive-in. As we were driving back (we were being chauffeured by other people who came with us since it cost per car load at the drive-in, not per person), we were listening to the Weird Al Yankovic song “The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota”, each sharing one side of my earbuds. I have no idea what brought this song up or why we decided to listen and ignore everyone else in the car, but we did, and it started a secret language and history with each other that cannot be understood or shared by anyone else.
