Young Love

Last weekend Liam’s girlfriend Maggie came to visit. Maggie wears the pants in their relationship, and Liam likes it that way.

I kept overhearing Maggie say stuff like, “Hand over the truck and no one gets hurt.”

At first Liam tried reasoning with her, but Maggie made it very clear that she wasn't in the mood for his games.


And then inevitably, every 10 minutes or so, she karate chopped him in the neck or head butted him in the stomach, repeatedly finding some way to wrestle him to the ground.

Liam spent a good part of the weekend wearing a very scared look on his face, and even now if I come near him too quickly his mouth opens wide and his eyes start to close like he’s going to his happy place.

It’s very sweet to see how much he misses his girlfriend already.

I'm glad to see that Madelyn isn't the only victim of the choke hold and "People's Elbow".

maggie just thought that liam would be most comfortable in a relationship similar to the one he sees his own parents enjoy. he's used to seeing his male role model domineered by his mom. maggie is usually quite gentle and demure, but is willing to "play the part" to make others happy. that said, we echo becca's comment... "ah, young love..."
