Polygamists! Yay! One man, several wives. Listen, I don’t get it. I really don’t. I just recently accepted the whole idea of one person + one spouse. So why you’d ever want more than one, I don’t know. But polygamy is the “Jon and Kate” of this season. Remember all those shows with parents who had like a zillion kids? Well, now it’s a zillion spouses. It’s everywhere these days. Tina and I have seen approximately a half dozen shows about polygamy this week. And let me tell you: it’s hilarious.
I mean, not only is polygamy illegal, it’s just unfortunate. But for some reason, these people really think it’s the bee’s knees. Some dude decides that he needs tons of wives to fulfill his spiritual destiny. Who am I to judge? Well, when you put it on TV, I get to be a judge. There’s a new TV show called Sister Wives where three women are married to some dude. They love it. One of them basically admitted that she could never just be married to a man. She’d be unhappy. She needs “sister wives”. In most other situations, someone would tell that poor woman to maybe just not marry that guy. It doesn’t seem like a good situation when you marry someone, hoping that at least one other person will come in to take some of the heat off.
But, as I mentioned, Tina and I have learned a lot about polygamy this week. For some reason, these shows are hot like fire. All these women sit around and talk about how they are soooo happy to be the “third wife” or the “sixth wife”. What? They just hang out and wait for their night with their husband. Until then, they just kind of raise their hundreds of kids. It’s the weirdest thing to me.
So, this week, this whole Polygamy thing made for some good conversations in the Pharon Square household. I now have 2 girl roommates and one male roommate. The chicks rule the roost. I can’t, for the life of me, understand why someone would choose that lifestyle. All that estrogen!! It’s so…so…undesirable. But again, the whole polygamy thing is the trend of the season. Polygamy is the new black, apparently. And it’s fascinating. It’s new. It’s funny. It’s not me. Which is why, this Wednesday, I declare polygamists the Wednesday Winner. They make me laugh, and more importantly, they make me happy I’m not them. Congratulations, polygamists! I don’t know how you’ll split this honorable award, but I’m sure you’ll find a way. You always do…

Oh, and they make a TV show about doing something totally illegal and then are shocked when the authorities choose to investigate them? Wha!? DUH.
Here's the deal - I'd claw the bitches eyes out who wanted to have sex with my husband (Um, in the magical fantasy world where I HAVE a husband), but I kinda like the idea of having wives. Somebody to help with the kids. The driving. The cleaning. The cooking. The errands. The housework... I mean, yeah, in theory, the HUSBAND should be the one helping with that stuff equally, but let's get real...
I think I need a wife.
Jess, that is called a maid...lol...I watched Sister Wives too, my husband walked in and I was a little embarrassed to be watching it. To my surprise, he was quite interested too. He did make some inappropriate comments though..I think there is going to be trouble on the homefront. That new wife...younger, prettier, thinner....hmmmmmm That guy is a tad to happy for me...oh, wait...he has 4 different women to sleep with.
This is considered a "REALITY" show? More like a "Male Fantasy" show!
lol lol Mom!!
