The Proposal


"We should get married," he stated, matter-of-factly.

"Ha!" she laughed. "No."

"We really should."

"Uh, no."

"Think about it. If we combined our incomes, we could get a sick house!" he continued, ignoring her refusal.

"No thanks."

"I'd get you a huge ring."

"Fuck no, I can't wear anything ostentatious."

"What's wrong with you?"

"I don't like big jewelry."

"My wife is going to have an enormous diamond."

"Which is why I'm not going to be your wife."

"I can't believe you don't want a big rock."

"Sorry."

"You're ridiculous. I can't marry you."

Exactly.

That's a silly way to propose and then to insist that a someone must wear a "huge Rock" is stupid. The rock doesn't show how true your love is all it shows is that you have lots of money and want to flaunt it. That makes "him" rediculous.

Yeah, I know. I'm recycling old stories. I'm otherwise tapped...but if you don't know me personally, then you hadn't already heard about it. And since that amounts to about 4 readers, lets just say I was writing for them.

Bah.

I get the best proposals, don't I?

And to think, I could be living in a "sick house," with a roommate who is entitled to half my income, but at least I'd have Prada in my closet and a Porsche in my driveway.

And I wouldn't be allowed to date either.

Yeah, I think I'm better off where I am.

Ah, just gimme a pretty rock, and I'll be content. Men just want to give us a huge rock (a) so we will be reminded not to cheat on them as we are being blinded by its brilliance and (b) so every other man will stay a mile away from us. Like a dude really wants to spend $10k+ on a piece of jewelry! Please!

I read that as "just give me a pretty cock." I was about to agree with you when I realized what you had actually written.

Some people are just shallow. This was actually the abridged version of an hour long conversation that had me laughing at the pure absurdity of the topic. I mean, like I could be bought?

Not by diamonds, I'll tell you that much!
