I didn't get to what I was building up to. :-)? Sorry.
When Keith and I had a brief, loud argument, one of us might've been rational, but neither one was.
?
In our regular partnership if one of us is frustrated, the other usually smooths and soothes, but that didn't happy yesterday.? We needed to import Holly (though I didn't know it; she was right).
?
In the case of a partnership in which one is only four years old, all the "rational" part falls to the mom. :-)? But someday, maybe, it will turn the other direction.? Holly is 31 years old.? If you have little kids that might seem like an impossibly long time into the future but I felt like that too, and here it is. :-)? ?All my kids who used to be little, and were all teens at once, and who all grew up and scattered out in their 20s, are all back in Albuquerque, in their 30s. :-)
Your experience will most likely be different, but expect the unexpected. :-)? ?(And don't expect whatever you might be envisioning otherwise.)
