Edited due to my embarrassing inability to correctly spell "Qiviut"
Me: What is your favourite thing about my knitting?
Mathboy: [blank look] Keeps you from strangling me? 'Cause your hands are busy.
Me: What is your least favourite thing about my knitting?
Mathboy: I have to listen to you talk about it all the time.
Me: What is something I have knitted that you recall as good?
Mathboy: Uhhhhhh, the pinwheel sweater
Me: Do you think knitters have an expensive hobby?
Mathboy: It can be. Depending on how much their husbands let them spend.
Me: Do you have any hobbies?
Mathboy: Video games, carpentry, reading.
Me: Do you have a stash of any kind?
Mathboy: Video games, tools, DVDs . . . if it's out in plain sight does it count as stash? (Looks at the shelves with 400+ DVDs lining the living room wall)
Me: Have I ever embarrassed you, knitting in public?
Mathboy: Embarrass isn't the right word.
Me: Do you know my favourite kind of yarn?
Mathboy: Qiviut . . . don't ask me to spell it, I just know you want to put it against your boobies. (He's referring to the time I found a pattern for a hat for a teddy bear that called for Qiviut. I was horrified and could come up with dozens of better ideas including just sticking the skein in my bra and wearing it like a soft and fuzzy little pet)
Me: Can you name another blog?
Mathboy: Uhhh, Knitting with Eileen, Yarn Harlot.
Me: Do you mind my wanting to stop at knit shops wherever we go?
Mathboy: Sometimes.
Me: Do you understand the importance of a swatch?
Mathboy: No. Seems like a waste of time. You should just do it and get it over with.
Me: Do you read my blog?
Mathboy: Yes.
Me: Have you ever left a comment?
Mathboy: No.
Me: Do you think the house would be cleaner if I didn't knit?
Mathboy: No.
Me: Anything you'd like to add?
Mathboy: [Shakes head no]

How is it that in 2008 a woman's hobby is only as expensive as her husband will allow it to be?? Yarg!
Sorry girl, the militant feminist in me had to say something ;)
That's a good laugh! I like his take on the knitting thing. Also love that he knows the house won't be cleaner if you didn't knit. Sounds like my house!
My Mr. doesn't object to my stash since all of his hobbies cost substantially more than mine. He knows better.
