Two for today -- so far

When was the last time you had a hickey? Did you try to hide it? How?

I haven't had to deal with this for a very long time...years, if not decades. It gets old: the frantic scramble through the shirts in the dresser and closet, looking for something with the right neckline.

Which obviously shows that yes, I tried to hide them.

Having said all that, I've really only had two "major problem" hickeys. Both were mortifying for totally different reasons: one for the mere existence of it (and it was the warmest December EVER in Colorado, too, can I say--turtlenecks were overkill!), the other for location (who knew lips could bruise like that?).

What is the most ridiculous argument that you and your significant other have again and again?

It's NOT about hickeys!

We have spent so much time getting all huffy over each other's "tone of voice." It's ridiculous. This happens at least once a week. For example:

"Are you mad?"
"No."
"You sound mad."
"I'm NOT mad."

Both of us do it; it's not just me. Every week. Still, after 20 years.

Are we retarded, or what?
