Is this an addiction, or what?

Wife and the kids have been visiting my parents for a couple of days. (I have to stay and work.) They left yesterday morning, after Wife got in a good hour-long conversation with Boyfriend 5 over IM.

Hard to do that from my parents' house, though. Or is it?

Apparently this morning Wife persuaded my father to download free IM software under guise of setting him up to be able to IM with us. She exchanged a few words with me while I was at work. But she was on-line a lot longer than that. Of course her real motive was to talk with Boyfriend 5.

What I can't understand is how she could be so foolhardy to do this at my parents' house. Couldn't she just wait a day or two, until she gets home? I guess not. But I know what comes next -- my father will start asking me about this friend of hers that she had to talk to. My father is very inquisitive about things like this; OK, actually most people would probably call him nosy and intrusive. But Wife knows this! She has whined about it for years. Why would she deliberately set up a situation which is simply bound to raise questions?

In the past when my father has started asking a bunch of nosy questions, I have just changed the subject. But I don't see why I shouldn't answer some of these ones. It would be kind of fun to see Wife's response when my father starts asking her why she is giving money to some stranger on the Internet. I wonder if I should also mention that she wants to fuck his brains out. And his father's, while she's at it. This could be seriously entertaining, in a gruesome kind of way.

Maybe I'll just leave it at the money. Even that could get pretty unpleasant, right there.

It baffles me that she would do anything so reckless, especially when she is the one on whom any consequences would redound. Amazing.
