I Becomes We

When people who were in relationships would refer to themselves as "we," it used to make me a little homicidal. "We work out in the morning," "We are vegetarians," etc. I thought it was totally co-dependent and lame.

However, I have come to the unfortunate realization that I am now a part of this problem. I've found myself saying things like, "We are taking our lunch break now," "We are leaving town," or "We love to watch Red Hot Red Carpet on the E channel."

But when I say "we," I'm not talking about me and my husband or my boyfriend. I'm not even talking about a friend. No, I'm talking about me and my bichon frise, Rudy.

I am single and no longer question why.
