it started out like any other time we've played tennis together.
we stretched.
rallied for a little bit. hit a few serves. then we started our first game.
i was losing...AGAIN.
and i kinda lost my temper.
and i kinda threw my racket.
and i kinda broke it...like a moron.
here is a dramatization:
(grrrr. i'm scary.)
and here is the damage:
i was SO sad. and so angry with myself. i'm kinda fake pouting here, but i did actually start crying right when this picture was taken.
it all ended well though. levi forgave me for being an idiot.
and then he even said we could buy a new racket for me the next day, which i knew i completely did NOT deserve. but he said that i probably needed a new one anyway since mine was a hand-me-down that i got 13 years ago.
really, i don't deserve levi. he truly does love me unconditionally. i hope i can learn a thing or two from him as his wife.
lesson number one: don't throw your tennis racket. EVER.
My boyfriend is the same way. I can easily get in a bad mood, but once I'm in that bad mood, I can't just 'click' to happy again. If we have an argument, he can just be like "ok, I'm done, I'm fine now" where as I totally can't. Ya, he puts up with me pretty darn well!
ReplyDeleteit really doesn't do any good to get angry. i found that out about 25 years ago. anger is your choice.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. This is the cutest/sweetest post! How perfectly matched you two are! :)

ReplyDeleteOr maybe the REAL lesson is: throw your old tennis racket, and you'll get a new one the next day. Ha!
