So Singular in Each Particular

It’s over – silly games and all.
It was in fact, a great night, and the games while slightly silly weren’t at all undignified! Yay!!
Happy about that…
And no… winning a couple of movie tickets (the best prize I have ever received at a shower) have nothing to do with my change of heart…
I mean it.
No…
Really…

Oh God … I have to go to a baby shower tonight… This is not good.
I have no objections to blessing and wishing well the mother to be, in this case a friend from college days. A good friend. I will go and bless her and cluck and chat to all the honoured guests. It will be great – I know it.
My objection is not to the party, or the blessing, or the wine (definitely not the wine… lovely stuff). My objection is to the silly games.
I have not had it on any authority at all that there will be silly games… But I have very strong suspicions that there will be …
I want to know – who decreed that there will be silly games at baby showers? Silly games make girls look silly…
I am not a rampaging feminist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do deplore the loss of dignity when strong, capable, intelligent, grown women play silly baby shower games…
Gah

In honour of the 40th anniversary of the release of Mary Poppins, Channel 7 screened the movie last night. I had not planned to watch it, in spite of the fact I love this movie, it is right up there with TSOM.
Love it.
Anyway, I was sitting on babies last night which presented the perfect opportunity to watch said movie in comfort of someone else’s home. It also presented the perfect opportunity for YGM2 to text me and say hi.
The conversation went something like this…
YGM2 :”Hi”
Me “Hi Yourself”
YGM2 “Watcha doing?”
Me “Watching TV, and you?”
YGM2 “Washing and weekend housework before Mary Poppins comes on at 8.30”
Me wondering if he is for real“I love that movie, it’s right up there with TSOM”
conversation continues
We texted each other all evening, lots of trivial info was shared and a good time was had by all! Felt a bit like that scene in The Truth about Cats and Dogs. (Without the phone sex. More like the sandwich making part.)
So, it would appear that our first date was watching Mary Poppins together, separately, which he did while doing laundry and house work.
she ponders Hmmmm, Likes Mary Poppins + House trained =…
OMG
