When drama supersedes fantasy… it’s not a tall tale, it’s SPVism!  And like Einstein said: For an idea that does not at first seem insane, there is no hope… like this one… my idea… my Plan B!  With a lot of hope!

But let’s take a look at those SPVs we all know:

• The one that after 15 years of ‘going steady’ decides that marriage is not an option anymore but… when he becomes the object of gossip decides he does want to get married after all.
• The one that doesn’t have a penny for groceries… after she decided that her trip to Disneyland would be so much more fun!
• The one that doesn’t even call her son unless she has to go to church to take communion.
• The one that sends her wife to Real State School since he went bankrupt and can’t think because he’s too freaking depressed!
• The one that, instead of using child support from her ex on the children… decides that supporting her boyfriend is a much better idea!
• The one that is so depressed with the contents of this page that he thinks: ‘It is all about me’ as the ‘center of the universe’ he believes to be.
• The one that freaks with every sentence that comes out of your mouth since she thinks you have a double agenda…
• The one that begs you to live with her ‘cause she’s lonely… only to then pretend your life and wallet are hers!
• The one that calls you up only to tell you that you should call her more often… as if you had no life!
• The one that says that, in order to ask for your forgiveness, she had to forgive you first!
