An interesting email just recently circulated amongst my prolonged family. My second cousin Emily and her hubby will were going to be on Oprah. “Set your DVRs!” checked out the email. I’ve satisfied Emily when and never satisfied Will, by the way. (Our grandmothers were sisters.)
If you view Oprah, and apparently bazillions of women do, you may have actually seen the section they appeared on. If not, allow me to summarize.
The new Jerry Seinfeld show, The marriage Ref, was being promoted on Oprah. Jerry appeared on Oprah and the two of them skyped with first-time parents Emily and will to demonstrate exactly how a marital argument ought to be settled by outsiders. Emily and will each provided their point of view and then all of America got to judge them. (And now you can, too.)
So here’s the video that Emily and will made explaining their conflict. You’ll see where will sleeps (on the porch) and discover why.
In an email, will told me
My relocation to the patio was certainly influenced in part by parenthood. I moved out to the patio around the time that our son, River, arrived. Emily slept with him for the very first few months, and I didn’t want to interrupt their sleep or their mother-child bonding. Whenever I would get as much as pee, the bed would creak and Emily would get upset about me waking up her and the baby. So I humbly and graciously moved out to the patio and slept under the stars, with the noise of the creek lulling me to sleep. however now River is two-years-old and sleeping in his own bed, so Emily wants me back in the bed with her.
Thoughts?
