A Jealous Girlfriend
|
Gary and
Alma were having problems, again.
"But you
told me it was okay to call up Carol," said Gary. "I asked you if it was okay to
talk to her, because it was her birthday and I've wished her a happy birthday
every year for the last 10 years."
"But you
had already promised me that you would never call her again. You promised me
that. So, you lied to me."
"But I had
forgotten that I told you that. You know that I forget things. I'm not going to
argue with you; you have a memory like an elephant. But you've got to believe
me, I completely forgot. And more important, Carol is just a friend."
"No, she
isn't. She's still in love with you."
"But I'm
not in love with her. She can love me all she wants, but I'm not in love with
her. I never was!"
"Well, you
say that. Maybe it's true. Maybe it isn't. But the important thing is that you
never know what the future will bring. You say that nothing will happen between
you and her, but you don't know that for sure, because you don't know the
future."
"Yes,
you're right. No one knows the future. I could fall in love with her again, and
she and I might run off and get married and have nine or ten kids."
"Again?
What do you mean 'again'?"
