Things they should warn you about when you start dating August 30, 2006 ~ 4:02 pm
Posted by Julie in : Coupledom, Rick , trackbackJulie: Stop that! What are you doing?
Rick: I’m picking at this scab on your arm.
Julie: That’s my scab on my arm. You don’t get to pick it.
Rick: But I’m your boy!
Julie: Exactly. You are my boy, not my scab-picker.
Rick: It’s the same thing.
Julie: It’s gnasty is what it is. Cut it out.
This has happened more than once. Coupledom is wonderful, ain’t it?

yeah, that is gnasty.
except that I pop Kev’s zits sometimes.
And he had to dig out a painful ingrown hair of mine on my lady bits once.
So couples do gross things for each other. That’s why it’s called…
WOVE! TaWWOOO WOVE!
Great! Now I have that old Thanksgiving commercial stuck in my head. Pick…Pick, Pick. Pick…Pick, Pick. LMAO!
Doesn’t Rick have his own scabs to pick at? Secondly he needs to understand that picking causes scars. Or maybe that’s the whole idea so you won’t forget him while he’s away? LOL
That leads to MAWWWIAGE!
Still snickering at “lady bits” though.
try to use that phrase in a conversation this week.
“please excuse me, I have to go freshen up my lady bits”
Stacy~Oh, I remember that commercial!! And yes, he does have his own scabs to pick at. I tell him not to pick those, either, for exactly the reason you’ve cited: “Do you want a scar?”
VND~I will comply. To build up my vocabulary.
I occasionally had to help Honey with zits, but he was useless when I needed same. The man can design a car all on his own, but needs a manual to deal with one zit on an easy to reach spot? Um, whut?
The weirdest part of coupledom is that a person thinks you will like what they like. I can not tolerate having the bottom of my feet scratched and yet he keeps doing it because he LOVES having the bottom of HIS feet scratched. Whayyagonnado?
At least he didn’t try to help you wipe.
Bright side, there’s always a bright side. LOL!
I recall many such instances of “assisting” each other once we married. It all began on the wedding day when I had to go into the bathroom and hold her dress up over her head so she could pee without taking it off. And you’re officially a couple forever when you request he buy feminine products for you and he verifies the correct brand and type without batting an eye.
“I need more maxi’s.”
“You want the ones with wings, right?”
Serra~You were right to leave his ass. Zit incompetence is unforgivable.
Geewits~Perhaps that’s why Rick picks at my scabs.
Lois~You’re right, I’m glad he didn’t offer to wipe!
Vince~I’ve not yet made Rick buy feminine hygiene products for me. Which is a good thing, because he told me the other day he’s glad he’s a man because he’s too low maintenance to have a period, so I wouldn’t trust him to buy the stuff. Guys have it good.
