Thought of the Day

I don't buy this crap that men are unable to show emotion in the same way as women. Here's why -- I've known men who are so attached to a dog that they will actually hug all over it, kiss it profusely, tell it repeatedly how much they love it, tell the dog what "a good girl she is, yes she is", heck, even carry on a full conversation with the dog (including speaking FOR the dog)...

Hypothetically speaking, if I were to be lying in bed next to such a guy, and upon waking up, he were to shower the dog with said affection (hugging and kissing the dog profusely, all the while telling the dog how much he loves her and how beautiful she is), I would imagine the following thought would run through my head... hypothetically speaking, of course...

What the %$*#!!! He better roll over (the guy, not the dog) in a few seconds and shower me with that sort of affection. Oh my God, I'm actually jealous of my boyfriend's dog! This is absurd. Helllloooooo, any day now, can it be my turn?!?!

In fact, hypothetically speaking, I think I might actually say this, "OK, is it my turn now?" And again, still hypothetically speaking, I would imagine that said boyfriend would give me a single hug, a single kiss, laugh, tell me "Oh, you're a good girl too" and then get up.

Apparently said hypothetical boyfriend did not realize that I was NOT JOKING!
