Party attendant: Sarah, how are you? Are you married yet?
Me: I'm great, and no I'm not married.
(What I wish I could say: I'm great. Are you asking me if I'm married just to make sure you weren't left out and not invited?)
Party attendand: Oh, when are you going to get married?
Me: Umm, I don't know. (Sometimes I mixed it up and answered, not anytime soon).
(What I wish I could say: When gays can marry (because that really would've made their heads explode and possibly get me tossed out of the party)).
Party attendant: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: No
Party attendant: aww.
(What I wish I could say: oh, you're married with kids? When was the last time you had an awesome carefree night out with friends? Oh, four years ago? Mine was last week. Suck it.)
Aside from these encounters, i should say it was nice to see people i havent seen in years. Also, i scarfed down these whole teeny tiny fishes with the head included battered and deep fried to crispy goodness. I even took a to-go box of them. You all don't know what you're missing.

Oh the dreaded look of pity in their eyes when you disappoint them by not being married. I think married people want everyone to be like them to validate their life choice.
ReplyDeleteThis post would be 100 times better if you'd included a picture of the fish.
I used to say stuff like "Well George Cluney isn't single yet" But that would back fire with "Oh he is so sinful"
ReplyDeleteThen I'd try "No ones asked me yet"
Finally "I love being single. I do what ever I want when I want. It's like winning the lotto with out the cash."
