Lol @ earrings from the melted bulbs. Oh wow. He sounds like a trip. I can't pretend to know who he'd mention the ear piercing with OW and all that. How strange. Why make up a story like that??
Crazy thing is J used to take care of the cars and do the oil changes and brake repairs, etc all himself. His dad owned a garage years ago and J learned a lot which is why it is so shocking that J would not be able to notice these bulbs were bad. And to think he was lecturing me on the importance of vehicle upkeep. Lol! He can't even tell a good bulb from a bad one. I told him about it and he was incredulous that he was wrong. I told him I even kept the bulbs fir his review if he did not believe me. That shut him up. For now.
Moral of the story: J is a know it all who doesn't know anything.
As far as the ear piercing, I thought about it and maybe thought J would be sneaky and try to take D with just him and OW behind my back. I know, negative thinking, but once bitten twice shy. So I told D if daddy wants to take you tell him mommy has to go too. I then texted J and worded it so it didnt sound so defensive. I told him that D was so excited that she may ask him to take her but to please don't go without me because I am so looking forward to taking her. I am playing on his guilt and letting him know it's unacceptable for him to take her without me. I hope it doesn't even cross his mind.
One last note: J called me on my way home about 5:10 and said he was just leaving work. Funny how before OW was living there he used to leave work about 4:00. Anyone want to take bets that J's hours will suddenly increase and he will start working much later?

WH it is magical thinking. It is all what they want to be true.
And I honestly think they become de-skilled during MLC. My xh lost his second language almost entirely. My theory is that running the MLC programme in their heads takes all the space - which is (part of) why they change details, mix fact and fantasy and so on.
Would a ear piercing place not query a man bringing a little girl in on his own?
