Relationships

You know that point in a relationship, where you look at someone, see their frustration, walk over, touch their shoulder, and express to them that, "You can say anything to me, I love you."

Unless you want to hear, "Quack quack neigh moo" stay away from that point.  Tell me that I can tell you anything, and you're going to be hearing a lot more about how Becca from third grade had a super big crush on Jimmy even though he got pantsed in gym class the year before.  A lot more.  Like how she stole some of  hair from the boys locker room the same day he got pantsed.  At least, everyone was pretty sure it was his.

The flip side of that point in a relationship is the, "Don't ever say anything to me again you cheating-on-me-with-my-sibling-while-I-was-helping-starving-kids-in-Africa" point.  This is a point you really want to strive for, because a lot of people have pretty attractive siblings.  Genes and all that point to other family members being attractive in similar ways to the person you originally dated.  That and there are a lot of really bad movie plots that can be weaved around that scenario, so you can probably write a screenplay no problem.

Then there's the classic "honeymoon" point in relationships.  That's of course, right after you get married and don't want to talk to the other person because of how awfully annoying they are in airport lines.  No one told you that waiting in an airport, no matter how great Maui will be, is still going to suck.  And that your new spouse snores and drools while in airports.  And that they get really mad when they wake up and find out you're on a plane to St. Paul/Minneapolis so as to make it look like you weren't really together.  Its a touchy time in relationships.  That's why its always a good idea to feign an interest in reading any of Homer's epic poems.  Other people will think you're intelligent and as they've never actually read the Odyssey and have nothing to talk about, leave you alone.
