Oh, hahahaha! Lord I was dr0nk! That was a funny part of this book about motherhood I was reading last night...
The author and her husband were out for breakfast for the first time since they had babies 5 years ago and at one point she realized that OMG WE'VE TURNED INTO ONE OF THOSE COUPLES because they were both so so gleeful just to have one free hour to eat breakfast in peace that they both dove into reading the paper uninterrupted and some younger, hipper obviously kid-less couple was pointing and laughing at them because they had nothing left to talk about. At which point she started haranguing him to talk to her so she wouldn't look so uncool and then sort of flew off the handle spazzing about everything and he just looked at her and said whenever I start feeling like this I go fishing. Your problem is you have no fish. What happened to your fish? And then she realizes she doesn't really have any friends left and tries to figure out what happened to them and I'm sorry becoming a mom is NO EXCUSE and I was all happy last night cuz I really don't care if Fratboy and I are so grateful for the peace and quiet that we eat without talking in restaurants sometimes because lord after all that noise it really is a gift so long as I always have my fish and here I am pushing 40 I MEAN 30 and with 2 kids both of which are supposedly the death knell for friendship and I have the best fish in the whole wide world so I was thanking all of you for being my fish!
