"I Love Lucy"

Imagine the "I Love Lucy" episodes only the ethnicities are switched. A white guy is Desi and the chica is Lucy. No problem! It's easy for me because I'm living an "I Love Lucy" episode, "Oh chihuahua." In the 2010 version Lucy is great and funny and likely to do something Lucy would do. Me, playing Desi, I'm a model citizen, almost a Republican. I'm ready to complain about President Obama.  Lucy left her car running for 8 hours the other day because she "forgot." Apparently, it's not the first time. I have to acknowledge 2 really big faux-pax. #1 I asked Lucy her age and said I would give her mine. BIG MISTAKE. She now knows I'm 64 (after a few lies) and I have no idea of her age. (I do know I'm the age of her mother, bless her heart). Maybe I'll find out on Friday, her birthday, and we're going to do the town.  #2 I said, "Baby, you could be lucky #4." when throwing in a line, meant to be funny, about the fact I've been married a few times before. Her response? She laughed so hard wine came out of her nose. Obviously not the reaction I was looking for. A smile, a giggle - not hysterical laughter. I'll tell you something, I think I've got an idea for a sitcom.
