Boyfriend says subdivision, I say neighborhood. Eldest grandaughter agrees with me, and tells him so if he forgets.
He says 5 minutes, I know it could be an hour. He really has no concept of time.
I ask a yes or no questions, to which he begins to not only write an essay to answer but he must also reword the question to the point I can’t recognize it. When he is done, I simply ask the yes or no question again. . . . until he finally answers yes or no.
He says he’s taking a shower, but I call it a sauna. The steam proceeds him as he is leaving the bathroom.
I like to fill up with gas when I have a little less than a quarter of a tank. He waits until his light comes on and still has to drive a little before he will fill up. True story.
He will not wear a shirt with patterned material, a few stripes is pretty much it. No plaids. No prints. I scare him with my clothes. I like color, and I like patterns, it can be multiple patterns at once.
He wins all the card games if he and I just play together. But when Daughter plays, she can kick his butt. Usually the heart of the cards is with him though, even with our Wizard of Oz Uno set, and that’s just not fair! That’s MY movie.
I concede all the electronic set up and repairs to him. He is good at it. I use to have to be the tech person, but now he can be.
I also use to be the giant bug killer, but when he is with me he takes care of all of that too. Again, I concede.
I say Facebook, he says FaceSpace and MyBook. He does have an account, but only signs in about 3 times a year, usually because I am making him answer something someone said.
I say he needs new glasses. He is currently wearing an aviator style from the 90′s. He needs new glasses. He says they are a good style that never goes out of date.
He also needs a new cell phone, but is reluctant to change. I can’t say much, ’cause mine is about 5 years old. BUT….mine will hold a charge all day, his only lasts about 8 minutes.
We have a lot of funny little differences, that sometime cause a little turbulance. But doesn’t that happen in all relationships? One of my girlfriends makes plans with me and says “…let’s do that next week.” Only problem is her next week and my next week are not the same. I can’t remember the exact difference, but now we schedule things by date, not “next week.”
The spontaneity reference in the title comes from one of Boyfriend’s questions to me early in our relationship. I’m kinda a hippie, or at least hippie-ish. He expected me to be the kind of person who made big decisions regularly just off the cuff. His question was, what was the most spontaneous thing I had ever done. After thinking for a few minutes, I answered asking him out for lunch. To which I also had to admit it had taken me several months to make the decision to work up to that.
He took off for the Bahamas one time basically overnight. So he won the spontaneous contest.
Just a few thoughts that made me smile today. I’m sure you have a few of these too. I would love to hear what they are, so please leave me a comment and tell me all about it! Until next time, Angela
