A Serious Conversation with the Uber? Not!
When I told one of my dearest Goodreads friends, Auntee, we would be taking pics of the Uber at my booksigning last Saturday, she suggested we strike a pose similar to one of those old fashioned romance novel covers. Big fun! When I mentioned this to the Uber he was game. So here it is, Auntee. Hope this is what you had in mind. Hey, we tried, but the Uber kept cracking me up, as you can see. LOLSpeaking of the Uber, I was trying to have a serious conversation with him the other day. Not that I’ve ever succeeded at this, but I am persistent. I figure after thirty years of trying, at some point, I’ll get lucky, right? Not.
Anyway, we were eating dinner. As I said, I’m trying to have a serious conversation with him, and things are going surprisingly well. I mean, he’s even responding, instead of ignoring me or staring at me with a glazed look in his eyes (which usually means he’s thinking about something more interesting and hasn’t heard a word I’ve said).
That night he was eating a sandwich and crackers. Before you ask, I have no idea why the man can’t eat a sandwich without crackers or pretzels, but he can’t. Must be a guy thing.
As I’m talking to him, he puts a cracker in his mouth. But instead of chewing it up and swallowing it, he slips the entire cracker under his lips and in front of his teeth. It completely blocks his mouth, which now looks white like the cracker. This delights him to no end, so he starts bobbing his head and making monkey noises.
I know. The Uber is 56 years old, but you’d never know it. Yeah, he still plays with his food if given the chance. He should have been an actor or a lawyer. Maybe a circus performer. At any rate, I give up trying to talk to him and start laughing hysterically. I swear he looks just like one of those sock monkeys my grandmother used to make for me when I was a kid.
Oh, well. Another serious conversation with the Uber bites the dust. *shakes my head*

My Uber doesn’t play with his food, but he does still get excited over stuff like Transformers and GI Joe. A while back, me, my Uber and a friend of ours when to Toys R Us to pick up a new board game and it was like being in the store with two five year olds who wanted everything!
Some little boys never grow up!

Your picture
Hey Laura,
Why aren’t you swooning? You’re supposed to be swooning, not cracking up! LOL! I think you need to work on your pose–practice, practice, practice…:)

LOL…I thought you enjoyed it when he played with his food…icing and frostys to be exact
I guess crackers don’t do as much for you 
Hope you are having a great week

Re: Your picture
I tried, Auntee, really I did! But my attempts at swooning made me laugh even harder. I guess I don’t do swooning well.
However I’m verrrry good at lusting. I get accused of lusting after men at every one of my booksignings. So maybe next time I’ll do one of my lusting looks. How about that?! *naughty grin*

True. I only like it when he eats his food off of me. Preferably slowly, verrrrry slowly. *wicked grin*

How funny! I can totally relate. I loved my brothers’ GI Joes. Love those snap-on shirts they had. Of course I spent more time taking the clothes off my GI Joes than you were supposed to, I think. Oh, well… *lusty grin*
How about Barbie? LOVED my Barbies!!! In fact through Barbie I experienced my first kid experiment with dom/sub bondage. One day I tied Barbie up to one of my stuffed animals, and had Ken hovering over her just as my mom walked in on me. Oops! That was not a happy look on her face. No matter. By the time I became an incredibly horny teenager, I realized bondage was not my thing. But exhibitionism? Yeah……….!!!!

Well you have now witnessed the ubers ( or any man’s) ultimate defense mechanism against serious discussions. That would be really funny if you wrote it into one of your books.
