"Where did we come from?"
"Well- when a female and male love each other-" My father starts.
"Cheap fucking rubber and a bad decision, that's where." My mother interrupts.
"But where did we as humans really come from?"
Taking another sip of her beer, my mother lets out a burp.
Yet, like a beam of light, my father nods his head. "You mean historically. Well, a long time ago, men used to live on the planet Jupiter; here they were content, living day by day, living in perfect harmony, as communication is more important to men than progress.
And on the other planet, Venus, women lived; they were self reliant, always taking on challenges, and seeing everything as a competition.
Life... worked for the two, but they always felt as though something was missing from their lives, something different, like the other end of a magnet.
Since Earth was in between the two, it became the home for both of them."
"I don't think Earth is between Venus and Jupiter."
"Shut the fuck up when your father is telling a story."
"Sorry." I whimper.
"Well, they both landed on earth, after meeting one another, they found only differences, yet in this they found completeness, and an attraction to one another. From this, the two different aliens had finally found the missing piece to the lives, it was another."
"Yea- and I got the wrong fucking piece." My mother states between puffs of her cigarette.
In difference there is completion.
