Frugal

Arielle and Rick are in the kitchen, discussing Juice, one of their cats.

Arielle (in her cat momma voice): "I'm sorry, Juice, I know you have issues. You need psychotherapy, but we can't afford it."

Rick: "That's right, Juice, we only have enough money for psychotherapy for your momma."

Job-Oriented

Arielle (to Rick): "You would be a very poor social worker."

Rick (to Arielle): "You would be a very poor accountant."

Both laugh.

Loving

True story.

Arielle's Saturday work days are finally over. She finally has a weekend. She no longer has to get up early on Saturdays and drag herself to work. This has been a YEARS-long wait and it has JUST this weekend finally arrived...thus, it is Saturday morning and Arielle is sleeping at last.

At 8:00 am the house phone rings twice. Rick (who is downstairs and awake) grabs it.

Caller: "Rick? Is this Rick?"

Rick: "YES?!"

Caller: "This is the Association of Firefighters..."

Rick: "THANKS FOR WAKING UP MY WIFE, YOU F**KING ASSHOLE!!!!" He slams down the phone.

Sorry for the language... but like I said, true story. :-)

Validating

Arielle is feeling guilty for not spending a lot of time with Rick.

She comes downstairs to make dinner and is talking to Rick about things she'll be doing this week, feeling a bit like a horrible wife.

Rick mentions that his friend Stan called.

Arielle: "Does Stan think I'm a horrible wife?"

Rick: "Everyone knows you're a horrible wife. I have a blog called 'My Horrible Wife.'"
