Wedding Woes

wwwwd?

dh and i have been watching "family ties."  man, that family was so messed up -- why did we think they were so perfect?  uncle tom hanks gets drunk and hits alex, mom and dad treat boyfriend nick so bad, andy somehow ages six years in the span of two years.

anyhoo, we have seen at least two episodes where either elyse or steven were kissed by someone else.  in steven's case, it's judith light (yes, angela) trying to seduce him.  he actually almost goes through with it.  in elyse's case, it's an old high school crush who finally gets the nerve to kiss her.

in both cases, neither steven nor elyse tells the other, which led to much pearl-clutching and sweater buttoning on both mine and dh's part.

question -- you are out with friends.  friend of a friend is there, and at the end of the night as you are saying your goodbyes, foaf leans in and kisses you.  do you tell anyone -- your friend, your so, the waiter?

    This probably have turned into a scene from Family Ties.

    Friend kisses me
    I push friend into the waiter
    Waiter drops tray of pasta on said friend
    Husband punches friend in the nose
    Blood squirts of friend's wife
    I stand there with a crazy look on my face


    :Cue commercial::

    I tell EVERYONE.

    I remember the one with Judith Light.  And it turned out Elyse knew there was something hinky going on, and that her husband was considering cheating on her, and she DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.  That was the weirdest part of it, to me.

    One of my favs was when Skippy had the date with the old lady. Too funny.

    Ooh, remember the one where Alex is cheating on gorgeous Courteney Cox with some mousy little thing?

    It's pretty hard to kiss someone against their will. If someone tried with me, I'd cut them off at the lean-in. And then I'd run home and tell H what a creeper so-and-so is.

    I'd be telling everyone, including you guys and the dogs.

    Why would I tell anyone?

    I mean, if it were innocent on my part - like, I was saying goodbye and presented my cheek, and someone stuck his tongue down my throat - then I would probably tell H, because that's a story, right there.

    But if I had the intention to cheat or kissed back? What does it help him to know that? Especially if it's just one kiss, and I don't go through with it? Or, hell, even if I did go through with it, unless I'm leaving him for some other guy (yeah, right), knowing would just hurt him. What's the point of that?

    now?  i would tell, especially all y'all.  everyone would get a text while i was in the car drinking purell.

    then, i didn't tell because it was crazy.

    family ties holds up, but man, they were all so messed up!  and we just saw the two parter where alex's friend died.

    I have been watching FT every time I see it on.  I forced H to watch with me once.  He had never seen the show except for 5 minutes once when he saw that Alex was a fan of Reagan and decided that he didn't want to watch Republican propaganda. 

    I laughed long and hard at that.

    I wanted to be Elise when I grew up.  How did I miss the mark by so far?

    I wanted to be Malorie - all trendy and cool with the boyfriends. I missed that mark, too, zsa.

    I would tell EVERYONE. Then again, I'm a yenta.

    DH and I have also been DVRing and watching. As a kid, I didn't get a lot of it. But it's very entertaining.
