The Rules

Being part of a couple means there is now a “we” and an “us” instead of a “me” and an “I”. I am not sued to this. So this has taken some adjustment. Don’t get me wrong – I love it. But I have learned that there are certain rules to follow when one is in a serious committed relationship. And these become especially important when you decide to live together. I though I’d share a few that I have learned. At first these things annoyed me but now I find them hilarious.

1. When throwing away a tissue box, it is absolutely essential that you break down the box before throwing it away.
2. When one does not have a dishwasher and does the dishes by hand:
a. One must set the glass on its side to dry NOT upside-down. The moisture will get trapped up in there otherwise and we can’t have that.
b. Do not use a new sponge to get cheese out of a bowl. Then cheese will get on the sponge and you will have to throw it away!!! Oh no!
3. Do not stack plates when finished eating. Then you will have to clean both sides. (I can’t even defend that one. Seriously?)
4. ALWAYS use a coaster. Under no circumstances is this not okay.
5. The diver always has control of the radio and no one (not even the SERIOUS girlfriend of seven months) can change the station. Especially if it’s Ludicrous song.

By abiding by these rules, I hope to make our co-inhabitance more peaceful. :)
