I Think I Want a Husband
But I don’t want to get married
I’ve been binge-watching Medium on Roku TV a lot lately. Thanks to the cleaning out my Drafts project I can now afford to sit back and chill a little bit. For those of you who don’t know, Medium is about, well, a medium. She uses her skill set as a freelancer (sound familiar?) to help others especially the DA and private investigators.
All throughout each episode are her three kids all blonde-haired girls and her husband Joe. Puberty is going to be fun for Joe in that house but I digress. I watch them as they chatter on about their respective days when they drop into bed at 10pm or even later depending upon just how hectic their day has been.
I watch the chaos of the morning kitchen table as cereal is dumped into bowls and yogurt is scooped and juice is poured. They talk over the tops of the children's heads as to who will drive the kids to school and who will drop off the dry cleaning or make the dentist appointments. In between, they’re each at their respective jobs doing their thing. Yes, they call each other throughout the day.
With so much togetherness I am frankly astonished that anyone gets anything done.
Putting aside the chaos and confusion and the hustle and bustle I like the interaction between Allison and Joe. Are they the perfect…
