The rookie Groupchat

Mood Swings(never been more... interesting) Pt 2

Later that evening...

Tim Bradford has removed Lucy Chen from the group

Angela Lopez: Tim, what did you just do?

Tim Bradford: What I had to do to survive.

Aaron Thorsen: You removed your pregnant wife from the group chat?

Tim Bradford: Temporarily. For my own safety.

Nyla Harper: What happened now?

Tim Bradford: She found out I've been talking to you guys about her mood swings.

Wade Grey: How did she find out?

Tim Bradford: She read over my shoulder while I was typing.

Celina Juarez: Oh no.

Tim Bradford: "Oh no" doesn't cover it. She went through five different emotions in thirty seconds.

John Nolan: What were they?

Tim Bradford: Hurt, angry, betrayed, furious, and then something I can only describe as "murderous calm."

Aaron Thorsen: Murderous calm?

Tim Bradford: You know that moment in horror movies when the villain stops screaming and just stares? That.

Angela Lopez: What did she say?

Tim Bradford: "Timothy Bradford. We need to talk." In that voice that makes suspects confess.

Nyla Harper: The full name drop. You're in trouble.

Tim Bradford: I've never been more terrified of my own wife.

Wade Grey: Where is she now?

Tim Bradford: Eating ice cream directly from the container while staring at me. She hasn't blinked in ten minutes.

Celina Juarez: That's genuinely terrifying.

Tim Bradford: She asked me if I thought she was "entertaining" for you all.

John Nolan: What did you say?

Tim Bradford: I said no, of course not. Then she asked why I was sharing her "private emotional moments" with "the audience."

Aaron Thorsen: The audience?

Tim Bradford: Apparently we're all characters in the Tim and Lucy show and she didn't consent to being the comic relief.

Angela Lopez: Oh Tim...

Tim Bradford: Then she started crying because she felt like I was making fun of her for being pregnant.

Nyla Harper: Were you?

Tim Bradford: NO. I was asking for help because I don't know how to handle pregnancy emotions!

Wade Grey: Did you explain that?

Tim Bradford: I tried. She said I should have asked HER how to handle her emotions, not discussed them with other people.

Celina Juarez: She has a point.

Tim Bradford: I KNOW she has a point. That's what makes it worse.

John Nolan: So what's the plan?
