Someone mentioned something about a “side chick” the other day and I had a moment where I realized how much less elegant that sounded than the more traditional moniker of “the other woman.”
Then I realized how weird it was that I was thinking of terms of affairs as in any way elegant or classy. I mean, they’re just affairs. They’re not cool. They wreck people’s lives.
Nonetheless, we’re only human, and we find ourselves caught up in them all too often. Here’s a little bit of what that’s like.

4. Kills me
What do you even do with something like that?

Oh fireworks are gonna blow eventually.

2. So deserving
So is this guy just like an amazing cook then or what?

1. Doing my part
A classic justification.

I guess the moral of the story is just: don’t be the “other” person. It’s way too messy.
