"I made a list of all the things I didn’t like about him: he chews with his mouth open, he’d neglect..."

“

I made a list of all the things I didn’t like about him: he chews with his mouth open, he’d neglect to close the bathroom door after taking a shit and then try to get intimate, his preferred sexual positions were awkward at best, he never had enough bite when playing with my breasts or kissing my neck, and so-on so-forth. I debated about whether or not to include his under-developed chest, skinny legs or large mole, the one just inches from his belly button, but decided that at that point I was just being petty.

I posted the list on my refrigerator, hoping that every time I thought of him I would look at it and remember that, at one point, I’d had no interest in him for these very reasons. What happened instead was that I would look at this list and think of all the things I wasn’t allowed to put on it: the sweet things, the beautiful things, the things that made me sick-sad. I thought of the way he’d let my hair down the first time we’d kissed – the way he’d pulled out each hairpin, the way he’d cradled my head in his hands as he lay me down – of that time he’d looked me in the eyes and told me I was beautiful, of the way we’d kept each other warm under the sheets when it had been so cold outside…

Even worse than that heavy nostalgia, though, was the knowledge that he most certainly did not have an equivalent list posted on his fridge.

“And part of my brain even noted, in that moment, that what just happened was unusual and very cool: Two women had just had a conversation in which they admitted out loud that they were good at something, without feeling the need to qualify it with a bunch of stuff about how they’re not as good as they could be, or how other people are so much better, or how the things they’re good at aren’t really important in the scheme of things.”

“And yet, you’re still alone. All that trying and still you stand apart, watching from the other side of the glass. Afraid to have what you truly want because what if it’s not enough after all? So much better to wrap yourself up in the longing. The yearning. The restlessness.”

On the drive home tonight, from my four-year old:
Bean: Mama, when I die, where will my body go?
Me: Um... your body won't go anywhere. When you die, your body stays here and they just bury it. That's what they do with bodies after people die.
Bean: But Mama, how will I get a thing with my name on it?
Me: A gravestone? Well, they make those after a person dies. After you die they will make on with your name on it. But, Honey, don't worry about that. You aren't going to die for a veeeeery long time, okay?
Bean: Okay, Mama. Just make sure they spell my name right.
Me: You got it, Cupcake.

A random neighborhood kid (RNK) came over to our yard to play with my kids today. She was full of questions.

RNK: Are these your kids?
Me: Yup
RNK: I thought you were the babysitter....
Me: On account of my youthful complexion?
RNK: What? I mean, you look like a babysitter. What grade are you in?
Me: Um. I'm not in school anymore. Er... well, I'm in college now. Uh... I'm not, like, a teenage mother. (Apparently, I just look- and talk- like one.)
RNK: Oh, you're married?
Me: Well, no. But I was, once. I just... Well, you see, the kids' dad and I... (Why do I feel like I have to explain myself to a nine year old?!)... I'm not married, no. (Grasping now:) I'm in nursing school. (Because that explains everything, right?)
RNK: Well, you look like a babysitter. You could babysit me sometime, and we could play.
Me: Riiiiiight. Um, kids? It's time to come inside and have dinner now. Buh-bye [RNK.] Check ya later. (Babysitter, indeed.)
