Me: *trying to cram out some last minute divorce cases before leaving for the day* Is there something ironic or inappropriate about divorcing people right before the weekend I run a half-marathon at Disneyland?
Mr. W: No, because these people will be overjoyed to get their divorce papers in the mail and they’ll wave them around and say, “Yay! I’M going to DISNEYLAND!”
How sad. I bet these people would’ve never thought that when they were getting married. Well, not the women, anyway. The men were probably forced onto the altar at gunpoint (or expecting baby-point).
Which reminds me. During warmups at jujitsu on Tuesday, the instructor asked Creepy Guy, “So what’d you do over the weekend? You got married?” Creepy Guy (who can’t even get a girl to go out w/him) responded with “Psh, I wish.” I instantly felt a “what a weirdo!” expression come over my face and looked around the mat to see who else thought Creepy Guy was a total moron for wishing he were married. Simultaneously, my instructor was responding, “No ya don’t.” And then I thought, “How sad is this? The institution of marriage is TOTALLY bastardized in my generation. No one thinks marriage is a good thing anymore. It’s more of a sacrifice you make when you don’t want to lose someone.”
I remembered when he said that in class and thought that was odd for a guy to say that. But he probably has never had a girlfriend and thinks being married as an escape from living with his parent. Plus, I am sure sex was one of the ones that popped into his mind, too.
And Chance is not being being force to the altar by me. Can you believe he is a willing participant?
Well, of course I didn’t mean YOU! haha
What was the saying again? “Marriage is like a coffin, and each kid is like another nail.”
Well, sometimes a coffin can be kind of cozy though huh?
Nice. I’ll be sure to tell your future girlfriend/fiance you said that.
But I secretly agree.
Just kidding!
No, not really.
