A friend from long ago (actually the reason my husband and I are together), dropped in unexpectedly (my favorite thing). Aside from him insulting my housekeeping skills:
"Wow, this house sure looks different."
"Really? How so?"
"Well, remember how neat it used to be? It's not all immaculate like it used to be, what with the kid and all."
"Heh, heh. Yeah, I guess so."
and insulting my husband's house painting job
"Noticed the peeling paint outside, figured you're in the business for a new paint job." My husband just painted about 5 years ago.
within the first 15 minutes of visiting, it was nice to see him. He brought his new significant other (I assume) with him. During the uncomfortable obligatory small talk, I asked his girlfriend (?) if she had kids. She said, "No," to which, alarmingly, I found myself physically having to bite my tongue from blurting out, "Lucky you!"
Now, that can't be a good sign. This parenting gig is definitely wearing on me.
