Josh was not prepared for this

That's what he told me when I got home from the diner tonight. "I was not prepared for this."

It seems barely a week in, Josh is exhausted from the strain of living with three girls. More specifically, us three girls. Even though he grew up with a mother and a sister. Josh is not a morning person. Alex is, Danielle and I can function but can't talk. I left this morning for my fancy job and Danielle left to (how geeky is this) meet with some of her sciencey friends to talk about sciencey things coming up at the beginning of their special sciencey school in a couple of weeks.

It seems that Alex woke Josh up by sitting on the bed staring at him (we have no idea how long she was there before he awoke). Before he could say anything to her she asked if he was doing sex with me. I really need to teach her to say it the right way before she embarrasses herself at school. He told her we are. She asked if that's why we close the door at night. He told her it was. She asked if he's done sex with people other than me. He said that was between me and him, not him and her. She started to ask something else and Josh interrupted and told her it was too early to talk about sex with someone too young to be talking about it with him, especially when all this talking was going on before coffee and being dressed.

Obviously Alex and I had a big talk tonight about making people uncomfortable and asking deep questions too early in the day. Apologizing to Josh about her was pretty awkward. But I probably felt less uncomfortable for that than he did waking up to Alex sitting on the bed looking at him.

When I spoke with Al she told me she does not like to think that I close the door at night. She cried and said "I used to fall asleep being able to touch you and now you're not even in the same room. You're all the way in a different room with the door closed and I miss you at night." Way to make someone feel awful.

Tomorrow I only work until 1pm and I promised Alex then we will hang out just the two of us, and when she goes to bed I'll lay down with her until she falls asleep. I kind of miss sleeping with her and Dani too.
