Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for December 18, 2021

You can tell she’s completely not mad by the way she used “Daniel”.

Just accept that she will always want to be early. She could have a lot more quirks that are much more irritating. My MIL always had to be early, got that from her father, and passed it down to her son. On the other hand, a cousin is always late.

Not wearing the Christmas sweater she gave you last year only aggravates the situation.

You are there, you got a seat, sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Poor Dan – in the courthouse his word is law – at home… …well, not so much.

It’s not actually about being early or late, now, is it?

The ex and I did the same thing. He was always “Early” I was “Late.” I blame our opposite personalities. He never wanted people pay attention to him so wanted to arrive early. I loved attention so never had a problem being late. It was a struggle that never got resolved while we were together. Over the years since, I’ve switched to trying to be on-time or even early. I realized how rude it was to keep people waiting.

Uh-oh!

What is this “early” of which you speak? Not familiar with the concept.

“OUR TIME IS WORTH SOMETHING” Thank you, I have this conversation all the time with my wife.

Daniel, the concert is suddenly inconsequential now. She’s mad.

PAGING ANGERMEMNON!!!
