The Dream

A month ago, I had a dream that Kevin and I ran into Jon at some event. He was accompanied by Kevin's ex-girlfriend Kristin (the blond ca. 2007) whom he was courting. The awkward double-ex encounter grew only more comically uncomfortable as we spoke together. 

Jon's wife had died and he needed a replacement to take care of his kids. He even asked if I was available. 

"Um, no, I'm married to Kevin." This with a gesture to my husband standing right next to me and participating in the conversation. 

He and Kristin both responded with surprise and even incredulity. "Still? You're still together?"

"Huh, I don't think anyone expected that."

Burn.

Had such a scenario occurred in real life, I probably would have been singularly amused. However, as this came from my own mind, it left a more lasting impression.
