What? How's Maggie? Oh, she's great! Just peachy … she's ruining my life. I can't do anything right! You sure you wanna’ get into this? Aaallright … give you an example. Last night we were going to dinner. She comes downstairs and she looks beautiful. I mean really pretty you know? And I say wow! You look beautiful. And then she says, "shut the fuck up!" Not like kidding or anything, but shut up! Not just shut up, but, shut the fuck up! As in, stop talking what the hell do you know? As in, how dare you tell me I look good?! I honest to God have no idea how to respond to that. I give a genuine compliment and I'm instantly insulted. You know Bobby? I never really understood the expression "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" until last night.
My good intention was to tell her and make her feel beautiful. Her telling me to shut the fuck up and making me feel like shit is like living in hell! Ahhhh man. I just don't know anymore. She's like an alien! Was I supposed to tell her she looked bad?! One could only wonder what kind of reaction I would of gotten from that.
