The man in her life
I have this special friend named Margaret, who is so special to me, and me to her, that we have come to refer to each other as heterosexual life mates. And since Margaret and I speak our own separate language, let me clarify this term:
Heterosexual Life Mate (n):
A person of the same gender with whom you could spend your life with in a celibate fashion.
Lately, I’ve been losing Margaret to a boy. Last weekend she brought this homewrecker to meet me. He will henceforth be referred to as “Andy.”
We spent Saturday afternoon deciding which sweater at Fossil Andy should buy, eating lunch entrees with avocados, drinking coffee at Belmont, and discussing the finer points of boob pockets.
And what did I take away from this afternoon? Andy’s a decent guy. JERK!
