Back in college BEFORE Billy and I were dating I used to joke around with him about how responsible he was.
All those things parents worry about their kids doing in college?
He didn't do them.
He is the one smiling in the corner. He was studying to be a financial planner.
He was way more responsible than these two slackers.
I would tease him...
Flirt with him...
...and say things like:
"You better watch it! All this responsibility is going to catch up to you one day.!"
This picture is a good example:
See how red his cheeks were?
He blushes easily.
I was probably saying something along the lines of:
"Yep! Just you wait! You are going to turn forty and walk right out of that brokerage office, grab your guitar, and hit the road. It will be all seedy bars and truck stops. You'll just be singing about life on the road."
See he played the guitar a lot in college and he had a great voice.
and I'd say:
"So, you better get used to these smokey old bars! You'll be playing here when your 40!"
"You're killing me woman."
It was all his fault, though.
All that responsibility was perplexing.
However...
When I was suggesting all this running off at 40...
I had no idea all that all that flirting was going to lead to this:
Or to this:
Dear College Billy,
I no longer recommend you hitting the road with just your guitar when you turn forty.
You will now have four passengers in tow.
Plus a gecko.
And my laptop.
Hmmm...suddenly it doesn't sound so romantic.
I can compromise on the gecko.
We better figure something out...
After all, forty is coming.
