I just had the most ridiculous argument with the hubster. He called me after his physical therapy and we were just chatting. He mentioned that the stepson had hurt his finger the other day and that his mom had to take him to urgent care Tuesday night. It turns out that he broke his pinky finger and it's all taped up.
The mom then informs the hubster that the stepson broke it in a fight at school. We were told something else from the stepson. The conversation turned into a discussion about a few issues and the discussion turned into a fight. Obviously, we both have different parenting styles that we need to work out before we have our own offspring.
When we fight, things are kinda all over the place. We both are guilty of talking over the other person or interrupting the other person. We both point this out and then we get into another fight - a sub-fight within the fight - and then nothing ever gets resolved because we can't stay on topic. We just snowball fights within fights within fights, kinda like Inception dream-style. I don't know how it came up, but the hubster jokingly suggested that you had to say "over" when you were done talking to signify that you were done talking because sometimes the hubster likes to take long (really long) dramatic pauses that seem like he's done talking, but really it's just a really long pause.
He starts saying "over" after everything he says and I'm just cracking up. I can barely get the word out of my mouth without laughing. So here I am at work in my cube farm saying "over" after every thought. But as stupid as it sounds, it did work. It did lighten the mood and we got through the fight focused and resolved.
So that is CB arguing.
