Sean and I have been living together for almost 3 years now. The ups have definitely outnumbered the downs, and I’m happy with my life. But in that amount of time, you learn things about people. You come to notice their habits, curiosities, and foibles – things that Sean has plenty of, apparently. The following ACTUAL conversation happened just the other night, and it’s a prime example of what I’m talking about. It’s a common conversation in our household, and it’s happened at least once a week, every week for three years.
I had been in the bedroom, Sean was in the living room. I got up to use the bathroom
Sean: Oh, you’re in the bathroom?
Me (from the bathroom): Yeah.
Sean: What are you doing?
Me (rolling eyes): Going to the bathroom!
In a room this size, what else could I possibly be doing??
What does he expect me to say – “I’m training circus elephants!”.
Honestly. I’m in the bathroom with the door closed – the list of potential activities is somewhat limited. Yet, he still asks, and I still answer.
Oh, the bliss of domestic life…
