I am, for the most part, a calm person. I generally don’t get too bent out of shape about anything. I’m convinced, though, that as I get older my hormones are gearing up and this is resulting in some major PMS episodes.
Case in Point:
Actual train of thought during morning commute.
She’s Gone by Hall and Oates is on the car radio.
H&O:
She’s Gone She’s Gone
Oh why? Oh why?
Me:
*sniffle* Oh, poor man. She’s gone. Why?
H&O:
I better learn how to face it
Me:
Buck up, little man. It’ll get better. You WILL learn to face it.
H&O:
She’s Gone She’s Gone
Oh why? Oh why?
Me:
*generalized empathy, sadness, woe*
H&O:
I’d pay the devil to replace her
Me:
*snif…..* Waaaaait a minute. Did he just say he’d pay the devil to replace her? REPLACE HER? He’s all upset but he’s already thinking about her REPLACEMENT VALUE?????
H&O:
She’s Gone She’s Gone
Oh why? Oh why?
Me:
Oh, quitcher bitchin, you insensitive oaf. She IS gone, and good. for. her.
H&O:
What went wrong?
Me:
Let’s see. What went wrong? Hmmm…Maybe it’s the fact that you are an ASSHOLE who is already concerned with REPLACING your woman.
At that point, my fury and indignation was so great that I nearly rearended the car in front of me.
The VIM? Well, let’s just say he deserves a medal.

Ha! I’m glad I’m not the only one who does these things. Do you devour entire bags of chocolate-covered pretzels too?
I can definitely relate to the hormones — my husband and son deserve medals too.
Comment by Marie September 30, 2005 @ 1:18 pmThat devil thing … I never understood it … Hall & Oates … didn’t know who was who. Does he mean he will sell his soul to the Devil to get her back? Because that’s a good thing, isn’t it?
Or not.
Comment by Bill September 30, 2005 @ 5:59 pmPerhaps thinking of “replace” like “re” (again) and “place” (put) might help in such a hormone-induced moment. He’d simply be wanting to place her again with him!
Comment by wamama September 30, 2005 @ 9:20 pmHey … I really liked the fall leaves. Where did the fall leaves go?
Comment by Kacey October 3, 2005 @ 9:22 amThat’s all Hall. Oates isn’t like that at all.
