I picked-up the boy at his work around 14:30pm. He was sorry to have bothered me as a taxi cab driver since his wife was busy at work to finish a project that must be completed at 95%. The point is that the wife is really and primarily responsible for her husband, who needed a ride to the auto shop so that he could pick-up his repaired car. It’s sad that she is not flexible enough to drop whatever needs to be done at work and take care of her NEW family, the boy in his time of need.
During the ride, he started stirring up controversy. I believe the boy was projecting his problems in his marriage when he mentioned his own parents not having a perfect one. My first impression was how he noticed his father mistreating his wife during the growing years. The boy mentioned how he should be less like his paternal side. I replied that he cannot avoid what he is and what he saw in the past.
For whatever reason, he mentioned his cousin Shill’s 7th anniversary with Jov via her Facebook.com. Honestly, I’m her oldest paternal cousin on our father’s side and I don’t friggin’ know or damn care if they got married by the judge, seriously! Twice in the past and in HIS face, I asked Jov, her then (and still?) boyfriend, if he would marry my cousin Shill because she is good. But the buckteeth geek with the eyebrow tick said: ‘NO! NO WAY!’ I was taken aback at his insensitive response, which sounded like a `Goober` from the `Andy Griffith Show`, if you will.
Recently, the boy has been including Shill as an example in his conversations. I wonder why he would care what is going on with that nutter of a cousin. She already expressed sentiments about her reservation with getting married due to her coming from a divorced family (like Jov did) even after I told her over out last phone conversation years ago about her just living with a companion because it’s not good living alone with her mother, who really owns the house up in San Ramon, CA.
Anyway, I tried to explain to the boy that Shill cried during Shell’s wedding because Jov would NOT marry Shill and not out of jealously and typical of any emotional single, brides maid like Shill – as per the boy. But because we believe Jov saw something not good with Shill. For whatever reason, the boy shut me down again for expression what MY KEEN OBSERVATION indicated; for he said girls are all the SAME.
I told him I’m like all his paternal relatives, not meant for marriage because dealing with problems in relationships is complex. I compared myself to aunt Malnorm who never had a child. And the fact that most of us just get married without giving a damn, as long as there is someone to pull our weight around. That’s why cousin Joh got divorced. His mother already saw something wrong with the girl.
The boy later blamed us old timers again about allegedly losing a $300.00 automobile piece that could have went towards the repair of his car. But since it’s his word against our, it is not good for us to continue a relationship with someone who thinks the world is against him. He chose that path.
