Our third day together was pretty low key. The Gay Guy was worn out from days of moving, packing, and unpacking. The Widow was still exhausted from 10 straight days of manual labor attempting to get the house in order for The Divorcee’s birthday party and The Gay Guy’s arrival. And The Divorcee, well she was still working on her damn Halloween costumes. As if it were not bad enough that she started making her own a just 10 days before Halloween, she also decided to dress up her friend in a matching costume that she also had to sew from scratch. Life with The Divorcee is always an experience. I really think she could make a great cartoon, like something on the same lines as Cathy.
Have I mentioned how much I love The Gay Guy? Here is a prime example why… The Divorcee tends to be a bit of a slacker and it is already obvious that The Gay Guy is not going to stand for it. She finished up her dinner and by something short of a miracle she actually puts her dirty dishes in the dishwasher. (Now she claims that she can never tell if the dishes are clean or dirty, but how hard is it really to solve that conundrum?) The Gay Guy notices that she did not bother to rinse out the sink and there is rice sitting there. How nasty is that?!? So he calls her on it…
The Gay Guy: Gross! Way to not rinse out the sink, that is how people get cockroaches you know”!
The Divorcee: But I am cute!
The Widow: You just keep telling yourself that…
The Divorcee: Oh, I will.
The Gay Guy: Here let me help. [Strokes her head with all the finesse of a 3 year old child with a mental disability] Preeetty, Preeetty…
The Divorcee: OUCH!
The Widow: [Laughing uncontrollably] I love you Gay Guy!!!
