Actual conversation from today between Mr. Twinkle and Fun Sink:
Mr. Twinkle: You know, Twinkle would have helped you with the meal and setup, if you'd asked her.
Fun Sink: That's OK; I know she's tired and has a lot going on this year.
(That sounds nice on the surface, but she makes an excuse like this every single time, and the real issue is that she doesn't want to share in the credit)
Mr. Twinkle: Well, be sure to ask her next time, because she'd really like to help.
(I actually would--he's not throwing me under the bus, here. It would actually mean a lot to me to be included and treated like a member of the family, after almost 6 years of marriage).
Fun Sink: Is she going to be in the same situation next year?
(Fun Sink, we've been over this. This is not your business).
Mr. Twinkle: Probably not.
Fun Sink: Mistakes happen.
(REALLY NOT YOUR BUSINESS, FUN SINK).
Mr. Twinkle: You mean like Lindsey?
(Boo ya).
Fun Sink: Lindsey was NOT a mistake!
Then she had to lean down the aisle and tell me and everyone else that Lindsey was most definitely not a mistake, even though she openly admitted it in an infamous conversation years ago. Even Lindsey laughs about being a mistake. So I just want to remind Fun Sink that she who is without mistakes should go on ahead and cast the first stone.
Ooh, three-pointer for Mr. Twinkle! I love that his even deeply ingrained parental respect cannot master his instinct to go for the exposed jugular =)
