bub has been staying up late recently. when i leave he has been sitting on the couch looking at asian comics online for approximately 3 hours. later i am asleep, but awake enough that i can look at the clock — 3 am. the next morning i’ll say. what time did you go to bed? he’ll say — i’m stupid OK. I am SORRY. then i’ll say 3 am. and what were you doing? and he’ll say. i can’t help it. i love cartoons. they’re my long lost best friend. so there we have it bub’s long lost best friend is a bunch of chinese comics about old school japanese shoguns. is it just me or is he getting nerdier every passing year? and now its this — who is his new best friend? me. and what, the japanese shoguns were his lost best friend, so was i was just a filler until he could find them again? was i just a space holder in his heart until his special shoguns came back? only time will tell. see nerd wives aren’t worried their husbands will choose other women over them, they’re worried that the husband’s nerdy fixations will win over – “quality” time with the wife.
