Occasionally, The Missus and I argue the relative merits of certain issues. Much like our earlier epic battle, Paper vs. Plastic, we decided to sit down and discuss another heated topic.
Today'* topic: Marriage vs. Dating.
The Missus: Marriage is the far superior option. It has a closer emotional bond than mere dating.
MOS95B: Lack of wedding vows doesn't denote a lack of closeness. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have been together since 1983. Unmarried.
The Missus: There is something nice about being able to say husband or wife as opposed to my baby'* mama or my baby'* daddy.
MOS95B: There is something nice about being able to stay out late and not have to take crap about it because she doesn't have the authority to give you crap (by authority I, of course, mean have a ring).
The Missus: Married people get to make important medical decisions as next of kin.
MOS95B: Unmarried people don't have in-laws.
The Missus: I thought you liked my family.
MOS95B: I do! I was talking in the theoretical.
The Missus: (simply stares at MOS95B.)
MOS95B: I'm not kidding. I love your...I mean...our family.
The Missus: Ok then. Anyway, the best part of matrimony is joint property.
MOS95B: Joint? You are just after my house and car...aren't you, you harpy!
The Missus: No, I just want to know that I am 50% owner of that couch that you'll be sleeping on tonight.
MOS95B: Couch? Ummmmm...hey look! Jesus!
The Missus: (turns and glances behind herself)
MOS95B: (runs like hell)
