Day 44, June 2

We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.

Robert Fulghum

The friend who sent this to me said it described her and her husband "to a T."  It does for Larry and me as well. 

We complement each other in all sorts of weird ways.  He is partial to cable's cooking channel and I like the 80s movie DELTA FORCE..  (No one kicks butt like Chuck Norris.)    He speaks in public but doesn't write.  I write but don't speak in public.  And so on.

Our children consider us weird beyond belief andtbelieve we are but one step away from "the home."  Our son Hyrum taunts us with the threat that he will put us in a home with "imitation gruel."  I'd be more scared if I thought that we'd live that long.  The way we're going, it's doubtful we'll make it that long.

One thing our weirdness has done is to convince our loving offspring that they do NOT want to move home.  Ever.  Homelessness is preferrable to living with their weird parents.

  1. Imitation gruel! That's good stuff. I'm pretty sure our kids won't want to move back in with us either. Weirdness has its privileges.
