Friend or Enemy?

Had a fun conversation with Adam this morning, which he says I'm not allowed to post on Facebook so I'm putting it here so to preserve the memory.

Me: Don't worry, I won't tell your friends you just said that.
Adam: What friends? [Good point. Adam is very much a loner and he doesn't claim many people as friends.]
Me: The deacons. [The 12 and 13 year old boys he works with at church, who are quite rambunctious and slightly crazy but who actually are the people he spends the most time with besides me and his co-workers.]
Adam: They're not my friends; they're my enemies.
Me: Haha. I'm posting that on Facebook.
Adam: You can't. You're friends with ****[one of the deacons] on Facebook. He'll see it and it'll hurt his feelings.
Me: He'll know you were joking.
 Adam: I don't know, he might not.
Me: I'm sure he will.

Adam kept insisting that the kid might not know Adam was joking, and eventually I had to concede the point, since his sense of humor is one of his best-kept secrets. Ah, the problem of having a funny husband who hides it so well from everyone else...
