SuperDave Diary

Tuesday 2:00pm. Strange day yesterday. In the evening I was clearing up stuff ("Acts of Service" come easily to me) and happened to put an empty chocolate box into the bin. I had second thoughts and took it out again and looked inside just in case. There was one choc left which I popped into my mouth (well I'd only had one of them previously so W and Kids must have scoffed them while I was out). Went back into TV room and was asked what happened to the choc. I admitted having eaten it and was then subjected to a tirade of abuse from W assisted by D16 about selfishly eating the last choc that D16 had been saving. Remember that I am an Aries and I had just been clearing up the dishes, choc wrappers, crisp packets and other family rubbish that gets scattered about during the day and sadly, despite all the good advice from you people and the various books I have read, I lost it. All the teddies went flying out of my pram and I countered loudly that I had only eaten one choc and had been nice as pie to everyone and had been doing all the housework for days with no thanks for it etc. etc. W came back along the lines of I was reading too much psychobabble and spreading ridiculous ideas about love languages around and the sooner I dropped it and got back to normal the better. D16 left the room and went into the den to rattle the keyboard on MSN messenger and W and I traded head butts, as two Aries rams do, for quite a few minutes. Eventually we agreed to stop arguing and she surprised me by putting her hand on my knee for a second or two – my Physical Touch love tank filled to at least a quarter – then she actually said “I love you” and my “Words of Affirmation tank went from empty to full in a tenth of a second! What power, words. I pretended to be a gorilla and put my head in her lap and she stroked my hair – heaven.
Am I going to keep reading psychobabble and surfing the SSM forum – you betcha!
