Lesbianism REALLY ain’t for me.

Wassup yall.

I spent the holiday at my cousin’s house. Over the years, I rarely got to see my cousin (and that whole side of the family) because they all live on the East Coast, and I’ve been on the West. But now that I’m in NY, I have an opportunity to spend more time with them. So Thanksgiving was my first time seeing them in a LONG time.

My cousin recently married 6 years ago. That was about the last time I saw them.

Actually, I saw them briefly about 4 years ago when we stopped through on a road trip, but none of us really remember that visit.

 
Anyways……this weekend, like I said, I got to spend some significant time with my cousin, his wife, her family, and my other cousins. And that leads me to this thought here:

 

YO, I COULDN’T HAVE A WIFE!

Now, his wife was very nice and accommodating to me and all of her guests. She made sure we were comfortable, fed, and entertained the whole time. But my cousin??? He couldn’t get a break the WHOLE weekend.

Mind you, I hadn’t seen my cousin in FOREVER. I know I’ve said this a million times, but dammit its true. So he wanted to spend a lot of time with me talking, catching up, talking about the history of our families (he started a genealogy project that we both are really into), he was showing me the view of their city, telling me about their house, asking me about NY and my mom and grandparents…………

…………you know, just filling each other in on the last X years that we’ve missed out on. Plus, I’m an adult now, and we can vibe with each other on a different level. I’m not his little kid cousin anymore, so now we can talk for real, for real.

 

Lord, we couldn’t really get too many words in without her calling for him to come set the table, come pour the juice, come make the bed, come get the paper, come answer the door, come eat, leave B alone so she can unpack, stop boring her with your stories…………
 
…………and when he DID go to do something, she had to control the way he did it. Use this glass, use that container, use these dishes, get those towels…………

 

I WANTED TO STRANGLE THAT WOMAN!!!

She was gettin on MY nerves, and she ain’t ask me to do shit. I suppose she wasn tryna be a gracious host, and make sure my cousin was doin’ the same. But hell, we’re all family!! We know where to go when we’re hungry or cold.

 

We were upstairs once, and she was calling to him, literally and figuratively as she would page him on their phone intercom if he wasn’t responding fast enough. After the 3rd or 4th time she called, he was like, “Damn, can I get a minute to myself???”
 
I just looked at him and said……“Man I’m glad I don’t have a wife.”
 
And off he went, running down the stairs.

 

Now, don’t get it twisted. By no means is my cousin whipped. He’ll buck against her if she’s doin too much (which to me is ALL THE TIME). But I’m sure he didn’t wanna cause any extra drama with it being the holidays, and with the family around. He loves his wife, and she loves him just as much. They’re actually a great couple, they get along well, and make a wonderful home for themselves.

 

But I sure as hell couldn’t do it.

She’d drive me mad!
