And it’s more in an annoyed way than as a fan of the show, which she also very much happens to be, in addition to being, of course, annoyed with me.
But me, I take it as a badge of honor, also being very much a fan of the show myself.
She complains that I’m constantly peppering her with, “Hey, [wife’s name],” commonly enough followed by some inane thought or other regarding cheeseburgers, cars, or maybe our dogs. She says at least I omit the “guess what?” part.
I was going to also say video games, which feels natural in such a list, but even I know better than to try to talk to her about video games. Sheesh!
So anyways, today as she was getting ready for work and I was getting ready to stay home, I told her, “Well, I’m proud to be the Colin Robinson in our family because Colin turns out to care deeply for his family members and is actually quite useful throughout the storylines, even when it sometimes goes completely unnoticed!”
She slumped a little in the shoulders, sighed, and waived goodbye as she walked out the door.
Me. An energy vampire. I mean, come on now. Sheesh!
