Venting!

Maybe I'm just hopelessly old fashioned, but I still think that some things are wrong.

I have a family member, for example, who is playing house and making a baby with another woman's husband. Sorry, guys... I don't think that's a 'mistake', I think it's wrong. Wrong as in, "not right".

When they first started living together, the story was that he was recently divorced and just needed a place to stay, so he was sleeping on the couch.

A couple months later, they announced that she was pregnant... apparently he wasn't sleeping alone on the couch.

A month after that, I was informed that he isn't divorced... he hasn't even FILED for divorce.

Now many months have passed and it's time for the baby they've made to arrive, my relative is in labor and will soon produce a bouncing baby whatever. Fine.

But this evening I got a call and, silly me, I answered it. It was my relative's mother calling to ask me to do a favor. "What's the favor?" I asked.

Turns out that the married guy needs to have his license tabs renewed and wants ME to dash off to the agency tomorrow and do it for him so he can be at the hospital when the baby arrives.

Now let's be honest here... I don't give a single measly damn whether he gets to be there when the baby arrives. Why the hell should I take time out of my weekend to validate him as a part of the family? Should I do it just because he's not smart enough to look at his tabs and realize that the expiration date and the baby's due date bear a striking resemblance to one another? Give me a break! The state DOL sent you a bright green postcard two months ago telling you that your tabs were going to expire!!!

Maybe if you ask really nicely, your wife will go get your tabs while you go to the hospital and watch your concubine push out your offspring.

I certainly won't!!!

And please... stop trying to act like you're part of the family. You aren't part of the family, you're just some married guy who's fooling around with one of our relatives. That doesn't make you part of the family... it makes you a sperm-donor.

Peace-out.
