Just a little 100 ish word drabble that came to me because I'm so bored. Inspired by my friends who are about as diplomatic as doornails.

Love it or hate it…please review it

Definition: Diplomatic

1) adjective skilled in dealing with sensitive matters or people

2) adjective able to take a broad view of negotiations between states

Diplomatic.

Jack O'Neill. What words can describe him, she mused.

Diplomatic, she finally settled on. An odd choice she had to admit, but it suited him.

So, he had had his fair share of blowouts with aliens, but diplomatic hostage negotiations weren't his cup of beer. In fact, it was like shaking up a can of beer and spraying it all over the offending nations.

And he was hardly diplomatic when it came to dragging his team out of their labs (diplomacy required negotiation and not orders, or downright threats)

Even his diplomatic patience with politics was pushing the limits of truth to stretching point.

But as I sit here, watching him take a game from his son to stop his daughter crying and leave the room with it I can't help but wonder.

I follow, ready to congratulate my diplomatic husband. Seeing him sitting on the roof with said game, thumbs busy, I turn and shake my head.

Diplomatic …Yeah right!
