Sitting here in my living room with the TV on for background noise, I thought of an idea for post number two. I mentioned in the last entry that the Man Boy is in the military. Being in his line of work comes with its ups and downs. Some of the plus’ include, job stability, cheap housing, the ability to re muster or, change trades….There are more…I’m just having some difficulty thinking of any right now. Reason being, one of the many ups/downs I’m speaking of just happens to be taking place right now. The plus for him is that he’s in Scotland for three weeks on an exercise…The down side? I have been left behind to hold down the fort…Now, this isn’t entirely “all” bad. I get to watch what I want, ( except of course when Miss Gwen loudly suggests otherwise) I get the whole bed to myself, ( assume starfish position!!) I get to gorge myself on such deliciousness as salmon, ( He despises the stuff) The PB & J is neatly tucked away in its respective cupboard, ( We’ll get to that little gem later…) And me and The miss get to do awesome girly things like eating mummies lip gloss or giving ourselves hand cream facials while enjoying dog food bonbons! One amazing happenstance I feel compelled to mention, the house has stayed strangely clean…er in his absence…I read a quote once that defines a boy as noise with dirt on it. I think the definition of a man is a little more complex.
Man-
noun: Large, sometimes hairy individual. Has selective hearing, because of this can at times seem slow. Some of the species can be charming and may even shower you with lavish gifts. Be wary, this is bait.
Strengths: Superior upper body strength excellent for taking out the garbage, carrying tired children, and arm wrestling to defend your honor. Brave enough to test out one of your new recipes, smart enough to lie and tell you how much he loves it.
Weaknesses: A memory of about three seconds, does not always think carefully before answering “how do I look” questions. Slow reaction time causing you to resemble a broken record and or a nag.
Side note: Beware of feet. Never sniff test a mans clothing to check for cleanliness. Always assume it is dirty and re wash.
I love him, he knows it 🙂
Well, I’m off to booby trap my front porch, close the curtains, lock and barricade the doors and windows and arm myself with a frying pan for the night.
Goodnight Neverland!
