  • Why so serious?

    People say they are in a ‘serious relationship’ if they are committed and thinking about marriage.  But I like silly people, so the sillier a relationship is, the closer it will be to marriage.  So I might say, “At that point things got really silly, but eventually it didn’t work out.”  And then I’ll tear up.

    Why do people say they are ‘serious’?  I can imagine a couple at a fancy restaurant, and the girl solemnly cuts her steak, and slowly lifts the bite to her mouth.  Then the waitress asks if they’d like to see the dessert menu, and the boy turns his blank gaze upon her and in a single tone whispers, ‘No.  We wouldn’t.’  Then he turns back to the girl and she says, ‘Today I found a ten dollar bill in the street.’  He murmurs, ‘Mmm’ while staring at his water glass.  Then a single tear falls down his cheek.

    ‘What’s up with them?’ another server asks.  Their waitress responds, ‘They’re in a serious relationship.’ 

    UNLEASH THE SILLY IN YOUR SOUL.  GOODNIGHT.
