She Said
For someone who hates exercise, you sure don't
mind walking around in your mouth. Just yesterday
I started getting these messages on my email and
now on my facebook page about what you have written
so I thought I'd check it out. I know you like
to use philosophical sayings that you steal from
someone else ( sorry...you do give credit sometimes)
or from some book you found at a yard sale. Most of
the time they are cutesy, and I don't remember any
of them having any meaning.
Now all of a sudden you have come up with a saying
about marriage and you have led our friends into
believing that you are against such a fine institution.
I don't know of any person on this earth who loves
marriage more than you do and if this wasn't
true, why would you keep getting married over and
over again? Back to your statement. When I read
the posting, the first thought I had was negative.
I immediately thought "how dare him say such a thing
about me!?" As I said that was my first thought.
My second thought of course was .."What an idiot!".
I thought you were just showing a seamy side of you.
(Note: I said seamy NOT McDreamy) But I know you.
I know how much you love marriage. I know how much
you love, love. I know that you wouldn't make such
a statement and mean it because when you got home...
there I would be. Not that you have to answer to me;
however, if I confronted you and you didn't have a
reasonable explanation, it would be...”.Lucy you've
got some 'splainin to do”. So I am just going to
let it go this time because I know how playful you
can be and I know without a shadow of a doubt that
you didn't mean...” a wedding ring is the smallest
handcuff in the world” to be about us. I'm sure
it's about some other couple you felt sorry for
and were just trying to make them feel better.
You WERE trying to make someone else feel better...right?
He Said
To be perfectly honest with you, I never gave a thought
about us when I wrote that little saying.
I just thought it was funny and that all my friends
would be laughing. A couple of things happened after
I wrote this.
A...My friends didn't read it, yours did.
B. None of your friends thought it was funny.
They started emailing and face booking you about
what a slug I was. As you know I would never hurt you
intentionally and I really thought you would never
see it anyway so what the heck.
Now I see that most of your friends and a lot of
my friends think I am a selfish, one sided, don't
care anything at all about marriage type of guy.
As my friends all say ...marriage is a fine institution
if you're ready for an institution. You can see I
was careful to give my friends the credit for such a
slanderous statement. I love marriage. Some of my
best friends are married. There are probably a
couple of them who think that their wedding ring
is a handcuff. Not me. I think it is a strong sign of
true love between two people who are proud to show
the world how much they love each other by agreeing
to wear a chain, I mean a cross, I mean a wedding
ring as proof of their feelings for one another.
Hopefully some day you and I will be able to show
the world how much we really care about each other
by wearing a ring cuff, I mean a wedding ring.
