Girlfriend

I never thought I'd be anyone's girlfriend, let alone someone's wife.

Oh, that's not self-pity. I always kind of took that as fact. When Adam used to refer to me as his girlfriend, it was a bit of a zing -- yes!

Last night he was bitching out Comcast on the phone and I just kept hearing wife -- my wife waited four hours and the tech didn't even bother to show up, my wife never received a phone call.

To rip off Pulp Fiction: I like wife much better than girlfriend. And far better than mongoloid.
