What's in a label?

Last week we received a phone call from relatives down country. After chatting briefly (Sparky and Firecracker were over), I passed the phone on to my brother.

As short while later, bigtaz came back into the house, sounding disbelieving and more than a little pissed off. Apparently, said relative had asked a question about "Deb's 'friend', Ben."

I don't know about your family, obv, but my nana tends to use "Friend" because she has no clue what term is acceptable to use in relation to Tobes.

Having said that, you'd think "civil union partner = husband" wasn't too difficult to rememeber!

*grin* You'd think!

Hope you had a fantastic birthday, hon :)

It's nice to have a 'friend' as solid, sexy, reliable and loving as my husband.

That's actually a really nice quote if it becomes

"It's nice to have a friend as solid, sexy, reliable and loving as my husband."

It shows how lucky you are. You married your friend. I'd like a husband like that.

*waves magic wand* Then you shall have one, my dear!

[debxena]

Sure! *waves wand*

How very odd. I never would have thought of Ben as your "friend," unless it was within the rubric of your husband. Maybe I would have called him your "partner" if I didn't use "husband" but... *shakes head* Very odd.

That does seem to be the general response. We're all rather perplexed!

Mistress Matisse is fantastic, and I've been reading her blog (and her weekly columns in The Stranger) for a few years now.

Hope you are well too!

Present? *wide-eyes*
