Him: Watching game. “Not now.” “Woo-hoo, go ‘9ers!” “Later, babe.”



The game, the game, the game. Oh, how you hate the game!



If you’re truthful with yourself, it’s not the game you hate so much as the fact that whatever you want seems to come second to the game. Every time. And there’s nothing you can do about it.



Get that? Nothing you can do about it.
