Now for your viewing pleasure, a word from my xh. True, I kid you not.

So, my son is recuperating from an operation. On top of that he has mono and strep. He is very sick. Anyway, I have been dealing with all of it as xh is living his life 5 hours away.

Here goes:

He: How's son doing?

Me: Tough going, but, he is hanging in. I've been staying close by him.

He: Ok, good. Is he eating?

Me: I've been making healthy shakes and trying to get him to eat little stuff often.

He: Good job, B!

Me: Huh?

he: What? You're doing a good job.

Me: Ok, I gotta go.

He: Would you prefer me to say you are doing a rotten job?

me: No, really I gotta go.

He: B, what's the problem?

Me: Um, you're crazy?

He; Ok, I guess that sounded a little condescending. I'm sorry.

Me: Thanks for apologizing. It really is fine, I just really gotta go.

He: Well, keep doing what you're doing with son, ok? Because that's what he needs.

Me: You know what I need? You to stop talking.LOL!

He: yeah, I do need to get myself a filter.

Me: Ya think? Listen, it's fine, really. I am here, I know what to do, It's all good. Take care.

He: B?

Me: Damn, I almost got away. LOL!

He: I was an ass to you all those years.

Me: Maybe you arent crazy after all.

And then the ritual banging my head against the wall commenced. LOL!
