Damn My Ex 

my ex-wife, marie, loved purple.  unfortunately, she was also the oldest six year old i have ever met.

we used to hang out at a friend’s house almost nightly.  marie notes their dinnerware’s colors.  dark mediterranean tones: dark mustard, deep blue, burgundy red, dark jade green, and, you guessed it, dark purple.  lisa, the woman of the house, says marie can use the purple plates anytime she eats there.

fast-forward three or four months.  i’m @ work; marie is over for dinner.  lisa hands out the dishes, giving renee the purple one. marie throws a full-blown temper tantrum.  right in the formal dining room.  accusing lisa of lying and playing favorites.

thank god i was not there.  moral of the story:  never marry an immature person!
