I have weird conversations all the time with my best friend of ten years. The weirdest with my best friend was probably when our talk somehow devolved into me going on a ten minute rant on how, after being really close buddies that we're practically sworn-sisters, I am yet to HEAR OR SMELL HER FART! Seriously, she can eat beans for a week and not a pip from her butt! Ten more minutes of us brain storming amidst laughter on how far I'd go just to get her to fart (surveillance! Bean cakes!) It's still a hilarious memory of ours, but it's definitely weird if you think we were taking the subject seriously.
Weirdest "I never thought I'd have this conversation with you" talk would be with my ex-roommate. He brags about going to 4chan and reddit and pretends to know all the memes. Y'know, so you'd figure he knows all about the internet, being the Genius that he is. One night, I see him moaning then wincing while trying to look away from the computer screen. I thought, "maybe he saw goatse or gore or something that's too far gone for him". I checked up behind him to see what this eldritch abomination the internet has presented to him. It was writing, of a familiar kind. My Immortal. I scoffed and told him that the fanfic was legendary. And he goes,
"What's fanfic?"
We ended up talking about the concept that fans sometimes stray from what is in the original script of a show/novel/etc. And that it is not just the Harry Potter fandom that have these 'not real experiences being written'. And that EVERY fandom has it. And that the qualities may vary and they're not all like My Immortal.
It was like leading a child away from Mommy and Daddy's hardcore BDSM dungeon, to explain to him about the birds and the bees.

And finally me or my mum end up shouting "We can't really eat or drink when you guys keep talking about this shit you know." 
:D
