Swear Jars for the Modern Couple

Standard

I was chatting on Skype with my boyfriend (finally; been ages since we really talked) and spamming him with links to The Bloggess (aka Jenny Lawson), because her interactions with her husband remind me so much of my interactions with Mr. Katje. And her interactions/actions/etc in general hit me where I live. Also she’s awesome; you should read her.

I linked to this post specifically, not needing to tell Mr. Katje I was thinking of setting this up for him.

Mr. Katje: Then I’d just have to create some for you.

Me: …

Mr. Katje: “I have to pee!”
“It’s cold!”
“Give me the covers; I’m freezing.”
“NO! My covers, yes, precious.”
“How do my nails look?”
“WAIT I’M DOING MY MAKE-UP GODS”
“Why aren’t you ready? I’ve been done for 20 minutes!”
“Five more minutes. Really. STOP SHAKING ME I WILL CUT YOU.”
“Cook for me.”
“Because you’re better at it.”
“AUGH! Fine.”
“…the stove’s on fire.”
“Also I’m freezing.”
“And I have to pee again.”

Me: falling off chair laughing

I can’t be angry because it’s all true.  Somewhat.

  1. The Bloggess is made of all the awesome. All of it.

    Also, I need swear jars for “fair enough”, “no worries” and “it’s all good”. I realised not long ago I say them all the time, to the point they’ve somehow become my default reaction when what I actually mean is NO THAT’S NOT ‘ALL GOOD’ AT ALL OMFGs mouth why do you say things my brain doesn’t agree with!
