Writer's Block: Smoked Out

[Error: unknown template qotd]To be completely honest... I join them. Not in the sense that I have a smoke - I hate smoking with a passion (as in to say I would never do it myself - if other people do it, that's their choice). But I don't feel they should be singled out and forced to go outside alone b/c of one bad habit. So anytime Madre heads outside for cigarette (she has to do it at home too b/c Smurfinator won't let her smoke in the house), I go with her. It could be freezing cold and raining (the rain at home isn't a problem - we have a nice covered porch...but it can be a factor when we're out somewhere), and I would still go. When we're at home, since Smurfinator has shunned all things smoking (hypocritical considering he used to smoke more than Madre did), it's a perfect time for me and her to chillax and chat. We have had some very entertaining moments/conversations during her cigarette smoking times.
I think it shows that even though I may not like it, I respect their choice to do it. I can't tell a person what they can or cannot do, and I don't want to lost out on time with my friends or family simply because of a stupid cigarette. So I'll suffer right along with them in the cold or the rain, bitching probably the whole time about said cold or rain, but it'll be a moment that others will have missed out on b/c they let personal opinions get in the way of what really matters.
Damn, that was really deep wasn't it? *snirk*
