There is a shanghai girl I knew 1.5 year ago from a BBS(we never met in rela life). Her situation is a bit similar as mine: She married a German, and moved here, the age difference between them is 6. And also she is 6 years younger than me.
We sometimes chatted via MSN.
Once time we started to talk about Christmas gift(Here I remark her as 'N'):
N: Hey, Christmas is coming, what kind of gift you will give to your husband?
Me: I don't know, I asked him, but he said he had no idea.
N: Oh..... you two should 'talk' these things openly.
I think we did, I asked, and he said no idea.
N: If my husband answered in this way, I will say 'Ok, then you get nothing, it's your choice.'
Me: Hehe, I guess just that my husband is not into 'gift' things.
N: We also not, but we are more open to talk and let each other to satisfy each other.
Huh? I didn't know what she meant, so I just joke:
Me: Oh, don't feel bothered, my husband is just a boring guy.
N: Really, you think so?
Hmmm, maybe not.......
Me: Well, since his nickname is 'boring meanie', and mine is 'bossy bullie'.
N: OMG!
Me: Hey, take it easy, we just joke around.
N: My husband and me only call each other babe and sweetheart.
Me: Sigh, maybe just because we're older, so the nicknames are less sweet. ![]()
And the phone rang
Me: I have a phone call now.
..............................................
Me: Ok, it was my husband, I checkd with him again about the gift, he still said he has no idea.
N: Oh, my husband called me before, but for sure our topics were much more fun.
Hmmmm, this girl must have a super-happy marriage life.
At evening, I told T all of these:
Me: Blah blah blah......
T: hahahaha.
Me: Don't call me sweetheart. Meanie.
T: I won't.
Anyway, N is a cute funny girl, and enjoys her sweet happy life. That's good!
