Life has taken a slightly surreal turn.
Following The Ex's ranting on the phone earlier in the week (see posts passim regarding unleashing the legal dogs) I had expected more of the same when collecting First Born tonight.
I didn't expect The Ex to be in alluring/seductive mode.
Me: "Hi, is First-born ready?"
She: "Almost - she's watching television in the lounge"
Me: "Oh, er, ok. Is she likely to be finished soon?"
She: "Oh, we've got lots of time. The Boyfriend's out too. Beer?"
Me: "Uh, no, I'm driving..."
What followed was a none-too-subtle stroking of the ego in the form of a tirade on The Boyfriend's 'Performance' ("He's lost interest since he moved in") and a suggestion of "one for old time's sake".
Is it me, or is the woman getting slightly unhinged? What the heck was all that about?
Luckily, I find her about as attractive as a road accident, so am still virgo-intacto, so to speak. At least as far as the whole 'sex with the ex' thing goes.
First-born is, as ever, blissfully unaware. She's more concerned that if The Ex and The Boyfriend get married next year, it doesn't interfere with her trip to Florida.
