Miscommunication Madness

Me: Do you have a Skype account?
Him: No
Me: Do you have a MySpace account then?
Him: No
Me: Are you sure?
Him: Yes.
Me: I did a Skype search for you and it found you.
Him: I don't have a Skype account.
Me: I know it is you because it has your specific information listed.
Him: I'm sure I don't have a Skype account.
Me: Have you signed into Skype at all?
Him: Well, I registered for a user name.
Me: Okay, then you have an account.
Him: No, I don't have a Skype account.

*breathe in, breathe out*

Me: You do have a Skype account!
Him: When I registered a user name it said it costs money to call, so I didn't create an account.
Me: Look, you have a Skype ACCOUNT. It doesn't cost money to talk Skype to Skype. It only cost money if you use your Skype account to call a landline or cell phone. It works kind of like an Instant Messenger service.
Him: I don't have a lot of experience with IMs.
Me: Just log into Skype the next time you get online so the kids can see you. Shit.
