Song and Dance Routine

I stand in the doorway of his study, unsure what to say.

I look like shit.

I feel like shit.

We've been arguing because neither of us knows what the hell to do about me, and today? Today is Armistice Day.

He tilts his head back to look at me.

I shrug my hands inside of my sweater. I bite my lower lip. I sniff (the flu). I fidget.

Then I swing my arms out and start doing the bus driver dance move.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife!
So from my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you!

I sing this.

He blinks, and then grins.

I fidget again.

You do what you can.

-H.

1 I heart you both, just so you know.

2 It's just so hard. Two people hurting and not knowing what to do with the hurt - and who else would get the bad end of it but the one you are closest to and unfortunately they're hurting too. A familiar story to the two people in my house, so I am sympathising with you and wishing it better. For all four of us.

3 Well, you made ME laugh, hon. Hugs, ok? Lots and lots of them. Just make him give them to you for me.

4 I can't imagine that he wasn't falling off his chair laughing. I am.

5 It's a part of the dance. Amazing fights can erupt from the stupidest things. The wife and I have had a few arguments over the years that ended in laughter once one of us did something silly.

6 Laughter has gotten us through and over a lot of stuff... it's good to laugh. {{{hugs}}}
