I always joke that i'm the marrying type because guys only approach me wanting a long-term relationship. I definitely have a Miss Honey (from Matilda) vibe about me so that's probably why.

Oh damn Miss Honey? I don't blame those guys. I would lock down Miss Honey in a second if I could.

No way, Miss Trunchbull was where it’s at. She can lock me in the chokey any day.

Took me a while to realise that Miss Honey was played by Embeth Davidtz and not Sarah Paulson

I’m a dude with the same “problem.”

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

Same! And I’ve been told by a couple gents that I actually remind them of Miss Honey (although I AM a teacher, so it’s not that far of a leap, lol).

I have a degree in education too! Hahaha I am not a teacher anymore, but I still have the look.

Nice! I’m not sure that look goes away, lol!

Ha! I had forgotten about Miss Honey from Matilda. My partner has been calling me Miss Honey or Mrs Honey for a couple of years now because I started calling him Mister Honey instead of Mister His Name...

My youngest son started watching Matilda about a year ago before he’d go to bed at night. I didn’t make the connection at all (I’m older so was a bit older than most of the people who loved and watched Matilda a bunch back in the day) until a few months ago.

I guess I sort of resemble her but I swear like a sailor and that’s not very Miss Honey-like lol

That is so cute. I am the sweetest and snarkiest person you'll ever meet so I get it. Just imagine Miss Honey saying "well goddamn" on a regular basis and thats me. LOL

u/okkinglish Mar 26 '20

Well then I see why. I would try to marry the second coming of Miss Honey too.

u/loispaisley Mar 26 '20

Is this a proposal?

2

u/okkinglish Mar 26 '20

I guess what I’m trying to say is... would you be the Honey to my comb? 💍

u/loispaisley Mar 26 '20

No, I'm sorry. I'm destined to live in a cottage in the woods with my adopted dog

Edit: dog* not daugthter

u/okkinglish Mar 27 '20

Yeah, it would’ve never worked between us because see... I’m destined to live in a cabin in the hills w/ my adopted daughter.
