Response
to “He and I”
I
cannot pretend that I have any personal romantic relationship knowledge. I am simply a “people watcher.” It is rather
fun to watch married couples, particularly those that have been happily married
for many years. The people of the couple
depicted in this essay are mostly opposites. They bicker, fall asleep at
another’s function, and have exceptionally different personalities. But somehow
it works; they love each other in spite of their differences and even
appreciate some of them. My grandparents ought to have their own sitcom. The two
of them are positively hilarious. As a kid I knew that if I asked one of them
for something and they refused, that the other would say yes. Their banter
between one another is laughable but still at the end of the day I know that
they love each other. My parents are like this too. My mom (and my little sister) will stay up into the wee
hours of the morning watching a poorly made romantic tearjerker type film but
if she watches something my dad likes (like an action flick) she’ll be out on a
matter of minutes. My dad is an introvert, my mom and extrovert. Mom can play
the piano in her sleep and dad can sing a little. I’m not certainly convinced
that opposites always attract but it
seems to work for them. So perhaps one day I’ll be sitting watching a film with
a man who likes to go out a lot and is hot all the time.
