Me (excitedly): I think my wibbly bits are less wibbly after going to the gym for a couple of weeks! What do you think?
Nye: Let me have a feel... No, they're exactly the same.
Me: I hate you.
Needless to say, I don't believe in absolute honesty in a relationship. Nye however believes in absolute honesty everywhere. Which is tiresome.
*photo by Lauren McGlynn. I really want to know what they'd just said to each other. I bet it was something along the lines of 'no, the gym hasn't made you look any younger! HAHA!'
Yep. I asked Eric how I looked in a dress (mistake) and he carefully surveyed the scene for a touch too long. I explained to him that honesty was only required for extreme situations.
ReplyDeleteUgh, but then they ruin it by saying next time 'you look great. That's what I was supposed to say, right?'. The assholes.
DeleteHowever, the corollary is fabulous: "Sam, did I look better when I was working out 6 days a week?" "No, you look exactly the same..." Goodbye motivation, hello couch.

DeleteGod bless Sam.
DeleteI <3 Nye
ReplyDeleteI thought you might.
DeleteHa ha. I suspect that people who pride themselves on their brutal honesty are somewhat delusional. They always 'honestly' find fault and rarely 'honestly' find virtue. I adamantly believe that your wibbly bits are less wibbly.
ReplyDeleteNot Nye, Nye is beautifully honest about my virtues as well as my wibbly bits. But most people, yes.
Deleteif there is one thing i cannot stand about myself, it is my brutal honesty. all it ever does is get me into trouble.
ReplyDeleteoh god. once I came from from the gym and said, D! I weighed under X pounds today! His response: hmm. it was probabaly water weight.
ReplyDeleteWhat? He quickly realized his mistake and apologized when I squealed and hit him.
