There are soooo many things you need to know about me. I am well aware there is a generally accepted protocol about how two people court each other, slowly getting to know each others' idiosyncrasies and preferences. However, I am not a totally conventional person. It's best that on the rarest of occasions I just be bluntly forthcoming and not go the euphemistic route. On these occasions I will have the uncontrollable desire to stop what I am doing to let you know something that you truly NEED to know. I do not mean to hurt feelings. Remember you are the woman of my dreams and the only one I have ever asked to marry. I assure you this is in our best interest.

Today: I just wanted to inform you that we will never have cats.

re; dear future wife,
ReplyDeleteDearest Future Husband,
You are the man after all who will have portrayed those traits which were either the most aligned with my expectations for marital bliss, or you impressed me as the one whose character was the most moldable to fit those expectations. I want you to know that I ALWAYS want you to be straight forth with your opinions and musings and I promise I will take your wishes into full consideration when I decide what's best for our relationship. That said, I will honor your wish to never have cats, but you never said anything about kittens.
I will feed kittens to the dog.
