equal shares

Today, I started the day off right- brunch with a good friend of mine at this great place here called Blue Fig- a favorite. This friend happens to be single (only sharing this because it's an important point in the story), and she told me that a friend of hers, who had been divorced, recently got re-married. Her comment was-

She gets two guys and me none! What’s up with these people? They should leave some for the rest of us.

I couldn’t help but laugh. Partly because she was not upset at the luck, she was upset with those people- that they should accept two. Funny. What should they do- throw one back in and say - no, I've already had one?? Like those people who go fishing but throw the fish back. (Don't they think the trauma of having been caught may scar the fish for life?)
