The Lightbulb Hath FINALLY Begun To Glow Above His Head ! ! ! ! !

PRAISE BE !
He FINALLY gets it ! ! !

Over the weekend J and I went to Mel's for a bbq.
Mel and I were drinking like fiends and somehow it came up as to which high school she'd gone to. When she told J which one it was he was like "How old are you?" She responded with "WHY???? Do you KNOW someone who went to my school?!?!?!" To which he relpied "One person" and then mumbled something about not being able to talk about it because of me.
I knew who they were both referring to.
And Mel just wouldn't let up - and I was giggling as quietly as I possibly could.

The next day J and I went to lunch and he brought up that conversation. Apparently he didn't think I was paying attention and that I didn't know who he knew that went to Mel's school. I then told him, AGAIN, about her little history. That back in high school she was at the center of a big scandal. That she liked a YOUNGER guy who had a girlfriend and she did EVERYTHING in her power to break them up. She was sugary sweet to the guy and a mega bitch to the girl. SOUND FAMILIAR!?!?!?!
I could LITERALLY see the light bulb above his head go on.
The conversation ended rather quickly but he did say he didn't know what her ulterior motives were and he doesn't want to know.
He looked rather like a deer in headlights as he said this - shaking his head and staring off into no where.
DING DING DING ! ! ! !
He FINALLY gets it ! ! !
It's only taken HOW MANY YEARS?!?!?!?
The important thing is that, yet again, he's realized that I'm RIGHT and have been all along.
A friend at work has told me on many occasions that I'm a good judge of character - that I have something about me that reads people completely and correctly.
Well DUH !
My gut hasn't been wrong yet - I've never had an "AH HA !" moment about ANYONE before.
I just wish J would have the same instincts so we don't have to keep going through these exercises ! Either that or I wish he'd learn to trust mine !
The most important thing, though, is that the light, indeed, did finally go on and he now GETS IT.
SQUEEE !
