A guy will say anything...

          A guy will say anything...

“You made a Lill promise.” I declared to Lilly.

“A what?” Lilly asked me.

“A Lill promise. Named after it’s originator. It’s when you say you may or even may not do something. Then you have to do it.”

“I never promised yesterday that I would make you dinner tonight.”

“I know, but you made a Lill promise. You said that ‘you might make dinner tomorrow night.’ That qualifies as a Lill promise. Every time that I say I might do something you come back later with, ‘but you promised you would,’ when clearly I never did. Hence, the Lill promise. You said you might make dinner, so you have to now.”

Lilly turned her back to me with a roll of her yes and a sigh as she began flipping through the days stack of credit card applications, delinquent bills and magazine renewal notices.“I need to know what you have decided about having another kid.”

“What’s that got to do with making dinner right now!”

She laughed, “I just need to know.”

“Unless we can go up stairs right now and make one….otherwise, cook us food Woman.” Yes I call her Woman often. She likes it.

“Okay, I’m game. Right now. Although dam it, I’m still on that birth control shot.” She set down the stack and propped her hands on her hips while awaiting my response.

A sigh escaped me with an exaggerated exhale.

“Well we need to practice making one.” Of course I have no intention of actually producing another baby. But a guy will say anything…
