Boys are weird...

Last night, I got an email from an ex. We have a looong history, although we've been broken up for longer than our relationship lasted.
N.E. Way-
he emails: Hey stranger how are you. You were just on my mind after looking through our year book. So I thought I would say hi since it been a minute since our last communication.
I email:
Hey!
What's up? There is nothing exciting going on. I'm at work, as usual - slaving myself to death. lol, this better be worth it in the long run!!
Work is slow today, so it seems like I have been here FOREVER!! I just helped a friend of mine get a loan approval for a car, so I guess that's exciting.
What's new in your 'hood?
he emails: Nothing much just trying to be the best father to my daughter.
I email: great idea!!

Ok, Is it me? or is that a weird exchange?? What a weirdo!
BACKGROUND: I USED TO GO BANANAS OVER THIS BOY!! WE HAVE KEPT IN TOUCH FOR YEARS OVER THIS WONDERFUL LITTLE THING CALLED THE INTERNET. I'M OVER THAT NOW, SO I'M COOL WITH JUST BEING FRIENDS. SO THE COMMENT ABOUT THE DAUGHTER JUST SEEMED REALLY ODD.
