Grumpy Blogs about life, dreams and Work

Earlier in the night I had pissed off Princess and Emcee by declaring a new nickname for Emcee.  "PB"

"What's that mean?" Princess asked.

"Princess's bitch."

"Not funny." She said and walked away pissed.

I felt like an ass. I made the error of crossing the line, again.  Emcee had come over to order a drink for Princess, and it struck me that he's often doing her bidding. I though the new nickname would be funny.  It wasn't. Everyone beat me up about.

"You can't say stupid things like that. Just because he is nice to his wife doesn’t mean he's her bitch. Everyone has their own thing. She does plenty for him too. It's reciprocal. A couples relationship is none of your business. Dumb ass."

I spent a good portion of the night having to back peddle and ingratiate myself repeatedly. By the end of the night I was walking on the street by myself and drawing heart shapes in the dew on car windshields.

The next day, Bee and I headed out on a day trip.  Emcee had left already to take Dart to the bus terminal.  It was in the same direction as we were heading.  I thought we might bump into one another and called to see if he wanted to have breakfast.  "Oh, you decided to go today?" Emcee asked on the phone.

"Yeah. Bee wanted to go, so we're going."

"Oh, so you are Bee's Bitch."

I laughed. "Yup.  I have no shame in admitting that."

He laughed. It was all good.  However, I thought while driving back it was good I was not around most of the day.  It gave everyone time to recover from the hangovers and forget my stupid comments from the night before. I envisioned them sitting around, relaxing, reading, watching cooking shows, idol chatter and thought, "A day without the OG is like having a nice life."

I laughed as I drove.

Bee asked what I was laughing about.  I told her my thought.  She laughed too.  When we got back to the house, Emcee and Black Bear were watching a cooking show.  I announced my new tag line. They both laughed.  Emcee added, "Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue."

Bee headed up for a nap.
