This picture perfectly depicts a conversation that happens at least 3 times a week in my house. Sometimes I am the first cat, my sweet hubby is the second. The conversations go something like this:
Me (on the computer): hahahahaha! That is TOO funny! See??

| actual example |
But sometimes it's reversed. Sometimes it looks like this:
Him (watching something like "World's Dumbest" on TV): Bahhahahaha!! Look at this guy face plant!! Wait, let me back it up, you gotta see this!
Me (typing away on the keyboard, or perhaps reading on the couch, or working on a cross stitch) big sigh.....stop whatever I am doing.....waits with barely concealed impatience while the scene is set.......says "oh, uh huh" or maybe I laugh and roll my eyes. After about the 5th time (he is persistent too) I say "HONEY!" and sigh really big. My thought process is this: If I wanted to see the idiot face plant I wouldn't be on the computer/reading a book/cross stitching.
Does this happen with all couples? Or is it just us? Now don't get me wrong, I love a stupid video and he loves a good joke. And we love each other. But sometimes we take it for granted, the assurance that we will always have each other. That we will always be able to turn to the other and say "look at this!" So, we don't treat those moments as we should, and sometimes we hurt each other with our indifference.
**I need to tell you, what you just read is not how the post read in my head. It wasn't gonna be a "deep" thought kind of thing. It was just gonna be a humorous peek into my life. And I hope it is. And more than that. Because in typing this I just reminded myself how important he is to me. How much I appreciate his presence in my life. I think I should say God reminded me. I need to value those silly little moments more. I need to respect them and cherish them. I need to remember that love means taking the time from my interests to be interested in his. And he needs to read this post. :-)
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
You guys are not the only ones. My humor and my hubby's is not always the same. He tears out cartoons from the paper and leaves the on the table..Some times I "get" them, other times I am left wondering what is funny. I show him stuff I laugh at and he sometimes likes them, other times he stares at me. I LOVE the movie Christmas Vacation. Have to watch it each year, I could never get him to watch it as he "hates" Chevy Chase...My mom roped him into it last holiday (our first married) and he sat thru it not laughing...We as a family were rolling..
ReplyDeleteLOL! I am afraid I agree with him about Chevy, sorry! But it is good to know that my hubby and I are more normal than I thought! Thanks for stopping by Winnie, I always appreciate your comments!
DeleteOh my I love this post! It describes me and my hubby to a tee also! LOL I had to read it to him and at first I got the sigh and uh huh but as I continued to read he got the message as well as I did. Thank you for posting this, it really makes you stop and think how much we should appreciate our loved ones. I also agree that God is always there to remind us also! :)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU Julie! This comment made my day. Really, it means so much to "hear" that something I wrote really impacted someone else. Thank you so much for being a faithful reader and for commenting. Love you girl!
DeleteYou are welcome Tamara! :)I love you too girlie!! :)
DeleteThis happens all the time here at home .. usually with Victor and I placing something under the nose of one of our parent's while they're working ... yeah most of the time it goes something like that too... then there are the times when we're rewarded with laughs .. and that makes us all the more persistent..
ReplyDeleteOh good!! I am feeling better all the time! Thanks for stopping by Larissa. I appreciate you!
