Things We Brought to the Marriage
I didn't really like Chris Rock before I met Jason. It wasn't so much that I knew his humor and based on that experience decided not to like him. I'd just never really thought I'd like him.
But while we were courting, Jason borrowed some of Chris Rock's humor (with proper attribution, of course) to reflect on how we were getting to know each other better... and all the *fun* little surprises that can bring.
You see, Chris Rock explains, when you first meet someone you're never really meeting them, you are meeting their representative. The best, most attractive, thoughtful and courteous version of them. There have been days when I've asked to please speak to Jason's representative because I'd like to discuss the bill of goods I was sold.
Similarly, I bet there are times if Jason has wondered if my representative took his trust and fled to South America, leaving him with the kind of girl who has bunion surgery and gets grumpy when hungry.
The representative bit is here:
