Living with D: part 1 in a series
Invariably when people get to know me, and subsequently Pix they will ask her certain questions along the lines of "How can you put up with him?" and "Why haven't you killed him yet?" and I'd just like to share with you what sort of stuff she puts up with.
Friday evening used to be Buffy and Angel nights on Sky One (they've since moved to Thursdays, no idea why) and my routine would be to buy a big tin of Jelly Belly beans and we'd snuggle up together in the dark and watch Buffy and Angel whilst eating Jelly beans.
Of the myriad of flavors, certains ones will always be left uneaten; Root Beer, Cinnamon, Chocolate Pudding, you know, the really gross ones that only freaks like. On the other hand Pix particularly likes the Buttered Popcorn and Peanut Butter ones. Foolishly she also trusts me.
Here try this one, I told her, passing one in the dark.
She bit into it and immediately realised it was one of the nasty ones. "Ew, gimme another to get rid of the taste quickly!"
So I gave her another one, again she bit into it and discovered it was one of the nasty ones. I pretended it was an honest mistake this time around.
I didn't get away with it after the third time though.
