Why do you even come home?
Poor Scotty works about four hours from here and insists on coming home each weekend. I really have no idea why he does this. He could just as easily play solitaire on his computer from there. It would save him eight hours on the road each week.. He could also skip giving me dirty looks all weekend.
For example, he had a phone to his ear and was on his way out the patio door at the same time I was on my way in to grab a bag of bird food from the pantry right beside the patio door. He’s out and starts closing the door, I go to stop him and he looks at me like I’m in his way. Excuse me, it shouldn’t be so hard for you to come out and me to go in. Then I’m in quickly and grab the bird food, I’m on my way back out and he reaches back to close the door. So I’m holding it open and the dork is looking at the top of the door to find out why it won’t close. So I say ‘I’m holding it’ and he give me a dirty look. Why was this a such negative exchange? If this was anyone else, he could have just laughed and walked away.
He’s responsible for only one thing around the house, mowing the lawn. Did he do it? If he did I wouldn’t be bitching about it. And you need to know that he actually does do nothing but play solitaire on this laptop all day and all night while hogging the remote control and watching either sports or old shows. He’s done this solitaire thing for years, even the old fashioned way, with a real deck of cards. This certainly says a lot. He will even take his plate in the living room to eat while the entire family eats in the dining room. He goes out of his way to distance himself from the family and then has the nerve to say I don’t keep him in the loop. Have you noticed that I don’t even talk to you? When was the last time we had sex?
Here’s another good one, he’s got two cell phones, they are setting side by side and one of them is ringing and blinking. Yes, you guessed it, he looks at the other one. I told him it was his nextel, he said no it wasn’t it was this one. Then looked at the nextel and said oh, it was.
We probably said seven things to each other the entire weekend. Really the only time we talk is when we are talking about the little woman. He’s a completely different person when he talks about her or is with her.
