Stealing a Page

From Bella's blog on the AJC...I want to ask a question (well, several, actually).

Ok, so you meet someone and you are so in lllluuuuuvvvv that you pop the question after three weeks of dating.

Wow. Three weeks. Normal people are at this point deciding if there will indeed be week number four. Women are trying to figure out if they should start taking a toothbrush with them when they leave the house (in some desperate cases we even pack toothpaste...cause ya just never know). Men have checked and rechecked their ever present package of condoms...just to make sure they haven't expired, or gone missing, or been eaten by the sock monster. Or the man or the woman is contemplating how to deliver the "it's not you it's me" message. Either way, three weeks is waaaayyy early in a relationship for such a life altering decision.

I suppose it's like....couples under 22 getting married. On one hand, you grow up together. On the other hand, you HAVE to grow up. It can be great, you know, if you age with someone...you end up knowing them really really well. Or it can suck, if one person grows up while the other remains mired in late adolescence. I've seen both sides of the coin...you know, the super happy 80 year old couple who married at age 17, or the bitterly unhappy couple entering their late fifties whose actions towards each other are so horrible you feel like handing them the business card of a local divorce lawyer? Those guys.

Anyway....so...what do you think happens to the couple who gets engaged at week three of the relationship? Out of relationship milestones...that's usually the SOGOTP moment, not the "you fill up my senses like a night in the forest will you marry me" moment?

And just because this is me today:

What do you call a woman with pms and esp?

The bitch who knows everything.
