Baby You Know I Love You but You Just Can’t Smile

Did you ever play that game as a teenager?  While other teenagers were playing spin the bottle I was playing games at church. I was the type of teen that would go to church every day of the week they had an event open.  This game came into my mind today.  One player  would sit in the person’s lap or kneel before them and say those words and they have not laugh.  You all must be doing this to me.

Here is the deal, my lovely readers, when I call someone darlin’ or love…well it is a word of affection.  I am a southerner.  That is what we do.  Bless your heart can mean f-you or it can mean I am sorry to hear that.  Love, darlin’, sweetie, and so on are just part of our daily vocabulary.

I tell you this so that you will quit throwing yourself at me.  I don’t want your smelly stinky stained underpants because I called you love. I also don’t need marriage proposals, sonnets, or taxidermied animals.  If you want to give me something, cash is good though the purchase of said items listed in previous posts.

I might say things like, “Love, your muffin top has turned into a can of biscuits.” This isn’t a declaration of my undying love for you.  I might say, “Darlin’ those pants make your butt look like two pigs fighting when you walk.” Again, not a proposal for friends with benefits.

In conclusion, you will never get to hit this but I love you.

  1. OMG!! If I could get off the F****ng floor and get a grip!! Love is a wonderful thing aint it? Okie dokie its a one nighter? Ahhh I think were on the same page live the way you gonna live and if the moments right………..? Oh, and bless ur little pea picken heart!

  2. Hah! LOVE this! Some of my “youthful” female staff members (ya know, when I’m working and not writing) call me “hun”. I don’t know whether to smile or to stuff dollar bills down their shorts.

    But hey, your Southern vocab is a great way to weed out the creeps! Everybody wins…

  3. That’s priceless!
    It never ceases to amaze me how people to this day can still read into something as trivial as a word. I’ve had issues with this in the past too being Scottish, but never with people from home soil.

    I can kind of understand though when people get offended with our occasional habits of using insults as a term of endearment.

  4. I was so good at that game at church. Somewhat seems odd it was a church game. Never knew anyone else who ever played. I was Ice Baby. Now if I could just be that way with all the douchbags I date…..

  5. Glad you’ve cleared this up for everyone else so they’ll stop competing with me.
    I knew I was in the first time you told “Bless your heart, I can barely see the scars from where you dropped as a child”.
    That was when I knew it was love…
