Dibs

I am sure everyone knows what the dibs game is.  When you see something you want- you call "dibs" on it & voila! It's yours & no one else can touch it.  Now, it sounds simple & awesome, but it depends on the context.


I am okay with the dibs game when it's the last cookie or a pop or a comfy chair, but I also have a great deal of friends that play it with people.  An attractive guy or girl will walk into the room & one will look at the other & call dibs.  I do realize that most of the time it is meant as a joke, but it got me thinking, I would absolutely love for someone to call dibs on me for real.


However, it can't be only when I am trying to look good because, let's be honest, I clean up pretty well, so that just wouldn't count. ;-)


I want someone to call dibs on me when I first wake up next to them in the morning, when I'm in my work uniform and my hair is in my "all business bun", when I'm 8 months pregnant and have swollen everything, when I am cleaning or doing dishes, and I want them to really mean it.  I know that it seems pretty unrealistic but I think it's important to set my standards that high.  It won't happen in the beginning either, obviously.  It will take time to discover and appreciate all of the awesome things about me, but I know it's possible to be someone's first choice & I can't wait to be that lucky.
