This Morning's Reader-Inspired Post

[livejournal.com profile] paigemom says: You never talk much about house/relationship dynamics.

Let me illustrate by example. This morning, [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr took some frozen chicken breasts out of the freezer to thaw for dinner tonight. [livejournal.com profile] kent4str sees them on the kitchen counter.

[livejournal.com profile] kent4str: Hey! There's something cold & dead on the counter!

[livejournal.com profile] bjarvis: My hopes & dreams?

[livejournal.com profile] kent4str: If it was that, you'd hear stomping sounds!

[livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr: Behave yourselves, you two.

Well, you know the math, right? Three people means four relationships: AB, AC, BC, and ABC. Each configuration tends to develop its own rhythms and qualities. Plus there's always the self-relationships, AA, BB, and CC. SEVEN relationships.

And you know what they say: gay relationships just don't last! Especially when there's seven of them at once! ;-) [ducking]

Waitaminit... you mean I'm not the sole & exclusive center of each of their universes? WTF?! :-)

Of course you are, dear!

you forgot the [pat on head]

was this comment about cold and dead before your morning ingestion of caffeine? Enquiring Minds Need To Know.

It was during my ingestion of said coffee and since I'm the only one that takes any form of coffee in this household, they haven't yet learned......

*giggle* It's the little things like this little scene that I love so much about a good, well oiled relationship, sadly they are all written by others besides me. :-(

*perks up* I'll get there one of these days!

And this is unusual because? That's what Randy and I (and Larry, when he lived with us) ALWAYS souund like.

It's business as usual for us. It's a kind of therapy, really.

Mmm. I think you answered my question.

I'm thinking that Michael's experience of dealing with juveniles will come in handy . . .

[identity profile] bjarvis.livejournal.com 2008-06-03 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, most right-minded people would think that. In reality, however...

[personal profile] apparentparadox 2008-06-03 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Were you calling me right-minded????

Just for the briefest of moments when you posted this morning. I'm sure it was just a quirk brought about by the phase of the moon, excitement about the Phoenix Mars Lander and possibly mild food poisoning experienced in the early 1980s. I'm sure it'll never happen again... seriously, what are the odds? :-)

Logic....

Three bears. New and improved ...Now without goldilocks.

That's 'cause this Goldilocks moved out about 10 years ago...

Ah, witty morning repartee. Not for the fainthearted like myself.
