Real Man

Most guys like cars and everything to do with them - car shows, mods, F1, WRC, GT Queens and so on. I like only GT Queens. I'm just not that much of a car guy. In fact, for most part of my life, I can never identify a vehicle I see on the road. In fact, I can identify kitchen utensils more than automobiles.

Lately, however, I had been given the task of recommending some cars for the company. And so I took on the task industriously - as I do with any task given to me. *ahem* And over the last month or so, all I have been looking at are brochures, catalogs and automotive websites. As a result, I now know more cars than I used to.

"That's a Alfa Romeo 156," I tell Mae. She nods knowingly and so I add smugly, "Yes, I recognise them now," and added a little "Hmph" for effect.

"Wow," Mae exclaimed animatedly, "you're like a real man now." Like.

I shall have to educate her tonight. After I'm done fixing the kitchen faucet, repairing our vacuum cleaner and doing all the macho shit I have to do all day.

  9. "you're LIKE a real man now" !!?!?!? must ask Mae what does that mean.. ;I
    It's like.. before .. you weren't.. now that you can recognise cars.. you are.. :O
    I wonder what ladies would think about guys who go... "hey that's the dress I saw in that magazine", "ohh and she's wearing that shade of pecan lavender scented lipstick... "..
    you can tell that I don't know what pecan colour looks like.. nor would I bother.. but.. I should learn soon right? *grin*

  11. i am sure that Mae doesn't mean it that way ... just some random words ... don't take it that seriously ...
    i am sure she has no doubt that you're THE man of her life ... and Jesse's life, and possibly your mum's life.
    Now go prove it to her further by making a brother/sister for Jesse! Ha!
