Tonight was slightly interesting.

I got home from work and Marc insisted that we have a bowling tournament. I obliged. During the tourney Gabe called Marc. Chit chat ensued, the end. When he hung up Marc said that Gabe told him that he would get him a couple of Wii games for his birthday. I thought I had better tell Gabe to let me know the titles of anything he gets for Marc so I don't get the same one. Typically I would have done this by text but I was making dinner so it was easier to call him. When he answered his voice sounded strange but he almost always sounds like that when I call...like he's dreading something. Whatever..good grief, what am I going to do? Bite his head off over the phone? CRAP! Idiot!

So, I said what I wanted to say and then he gives me this big sigh and just says, "Yeah, ok." The way he said it sounded like he might be sick. I made the mistake of reverting to my old self and asked him if he was ok. He answered, "No. I'm not." Ummm....yeah, ok...I'll bite. "Oh, are you sick?" "No, everything is just wrong and I don't know what to do."

Now, before you jump to the conclusion that I followed my usual pattern and got all involved in pulling out of him what was wrong........I said, "I'm sorry you're having a rough time. All you can do is deal with today and deal with tomorrow tomorrow. Please make sure to let me know if you buy him any games."

That's it. I hung up!!!!! I am pretty proud of myself for not taking the bait.
