TV = Health Hazard
It was a buka puasa night between the ex-wife and I. It was a nice Indian restaurant, the food was fantastic and the plasma screen had some Hindi music videos which I recognized.
The night was going well, for 2 people who used to be married to each other. Better than friends, though much lesser than lovers. As usual, the familiarity was lulling.
Until we started talking about that show "One Tree Hill".
Me: Hey, did you watch One Tree Hill Last night?
She: Yes, I did. It's one of the few programs that I like
Me: Sapa your favourite character?
She: Hmmmmm,....I don't know,...but I definitely know YOUR favourite character,...
Me: My favourite character is Brooke!
She: Yeah, I kinda though you would. I kinda like Brooke too,...
Me: I mean, you know, Brooke is so bimbo-ish. Totally my kinda girl,....
As the words left my mouth, I suddenly realized what a loaded statement I made. Especially, when I was talking to my ex-wife.
Her expression changed immediately. Dear God!
My ex-wife is as intelligent, as a rocket scientist. (The only dumb thing she's ever done is marry me!). By making that statement, she might think that I prefer dumb blondes, therefore she was not my type. Or she might think, that I thought she was one - which was even worse!.
Damage control. Think, boy! Think! I tried to soften the blow - by not insulting her.
Me: Well, you know what I mean - I mean, you're certainly not a bimbo,...but I was certainly attracted to you,...
She: Stop it right there. Quit while you're ahead (*rolling her eyes*)
Me: Ok. Let's change the topic. (Sheepish,...)
Thankfully, the next topic made her forget, what had transpired.
Moral of the story: I'm going to quit watching "One Tree Hill". It's hazardous to my health.
And I must remember not to speak about "Desperate Housewives" to my ex-wife - I might slip up with the "thang" that I have for Marcia Cross.
It would not be a Bree-liant idea.

Inconditus:
Took a long time to get to where we are. But yes, it is nice to be able to remain good friends, with one's ex-wife.
Anonymous a.k.a. Najah:
Trust me. If I wanted to marry someone like my Mum, I would have married one of the girls, that she tried matchmaking me with.
And dear God, there were many matchmaking attempts! I felt like a Seven-Eleven bachelor. Haha!
But you know my type, right? Not unachievable, but seems to be constantly out of reach.
Btw, awat pakai Anon ni? :)
Voice:
I try to be. Everyday. Through my writing.
marry someone like my mom? no way lah najah ;)

JD:
