Conversations You'll Hear in Every Polyam Household
Now, obviously, I've never been in every polyam household that's ever existed but I am like 85% sure that if you're living with your polycule, you've had at least one of these conversations before.
1. Trying to get someone's attention from the other room.
"Hey baby!" "Yeah?" "Other baby!" "What's up?"
2. Trying to find something after another partner moves it
"Hey, where is the thingie?" "What thingie?" "You know the... (random syllables and gesturing while they struggle for the word)" "It's by the toaster!" "WHY IS IT BY THE TOASTER?"
3. Because keeping all the clothes separate is a fantasy
"Quit stealing my hoodie!" "It's not even your hoodie, it's partner's." "Well yeah, but I stole it first."
4. Making sure all the chores get done
"Can you do 'x'?" "Sure, if you'll do y." "I can do z!"
Fairly certain that this conversation will be repeated every day until the end of time.
Bonus scenarios for fun:
It's a lot easier having more people to take care of the kids/chores/house etc when someone's sick.
Fuck we're all sick at the same time.
*telling the same joke you just told another partner five minutes ago because they didn't think it was funny*
There are always plenty of leftovers.
Missing leftovers turns the whole house into an Agatha Christie novel
And last, but certainly not least...
Every polycule must include at least one person who manages The Calendar with color-coordinated military precision & one person who only remembers about 47% of what's on it.
