Oh, I totally agree with you there. That's why I usually don't date
men who are outrageously tall, because I like to have pillow (or
folded, clean socks) fights and if the man is too tall, it puts me at
an unfair disadvantage. That being said, I've never called it "playing
all day" with a said person of interest. I don't know why, but I've
always referred to it as "being bad*****".... For instance..."We
ignored our chores and our errands, we didn't finish up the yard work
and we were just being total bad***** all Sunday. We ought to be
ticketed and removed from the neighborhood. We were just so self
indulgently badass yesterday. Thank God we were at home and not at a
saloon. Every cowboy there would have shunned us."
"We played" just sounds ridiculously nutty to me. It sounds like "Will
you pwayyy wiff me? Will you be my fwennn'?"
Guess that's where we differ, but I get your idea. I don't want to be a
badass with anyone, really, especially with a significant other. I just
want to play around, which is always fun. That's why I thought what Drake
said was cute and romantic. Now, if my guy started talking baby talk with
me, as in what you said, "will you pwaayyyy wiff me?", then we might have
a
problem. I don't mind the playing around, but the baby talk stuff is a
little weird (*** In The City, anyone remember??). At least Drake didn't
go
that far. He just said he wanted time to "play all day" with his wife.
That is totally cool, and extremely romantic, imo. The guy must have a
grueling schedule, so if he quit or was fired, or whether or not it was a
red herring, doesn't matter. He was planning on using that off time to
play
with his wife. That's awesome! He and my hubby would get along famously!
Wish we could do a couples' picnic here in H-town someday. We'll bring
the
frisbee and the disc golf equipment! lol :-)
