Him: Is your Playgroup Dropout site still up?
Me: Yup.
Him: Weren't they supposed to take that down?
Me: I thought so.
Him: You should start posting erotic fiction over there.
Me: Sure. And then our parents can read it. And my aunts and uncles. And all my cousins. And my mother's neighbors and coworkers.
Him: Right. Guess I didn't really think that one through.
Me: Also, my idea of erotic fiction these days is "Gabrielle felt weak at the knees as she watched Ramon do all the laundry, fold it and put it away... in the right places."
Him: Ha.
Me: "And then, he asked her about her day and actually listened to what she said."
Him: What?

Oh Beth, that is too funny and you just crack me up!

I love it! It has so little to do with sex and so much to do with everyday life. You hit it right on the head of the nail.

Ramon slowly, so slowly, peeled away Gabrielle's spit-up crusted shirt. His dark, liquid eyes examined the care label. "Gentle wash, I think, my precious one," he said as he started the washing machine. "With perhaps the lavender-vanilla fabric softener."

Wait, was this my dinner conversation or yours? Because it totally sounds like something that would happen in my life.
Posted by Elaine | March 21, 2008 12:09 AM
That would not be considered fiction in my house. :-)

HA! Nothing makes me weak in the knees like folded laundry.
oh, and Swistle, you so funny, too.

The cleaning people just showed up at my house. This is the hottest thing that I can imagine.
My fantasies have changed.
