Wolfie asked me a tongue-in-cheek question the other day that I just slapped off a snarky answer to without really thinking about it. It's my way.
Wolfie- "Roy, of all the women in your life, who do you imagine would go for the white pickett fence and 2.5 children with a dog on the side?"
My snappy answer? "None of the them, babe, it's why my fence is brown." She laughed and went her merry way. It did get me thinking later, though. Would ANY of the women I've been with be the 'right one' for a white pickett fence kind of deal?
Yeah, I think Donna would. It would be rough on her, having the background she has but I think Donna would go for the white pickett fence, picnics in the park, the dog walk on fall evenings and stringing cranberries for garland on the Christmas tree. It's a waste of cranberries, really, but Lian digs that sort of thing.
Donna would still want to go off and save the world, but she'd make damn sure someone would be tucking the kids in at night, me or her. And that lunches are packed with nutritious but fun foods and that the weekends are constructive but entertaining.
What do you all think? Inquiring red-heads want to know...

Marry the woman already, Roy. =P
ReplyDeleteI would if I didn't think she'd turn me down flat. At least she wouldn't laugh, y'know? :)
