1> Husband suggested that we go visit with my parents. We have dinner Wed night with my parents, so I was surprised that he wanted to spend more time with them! I told him I was happy that he was bonding with my parents.
2> We watched West Wing together!
3> He told me about an incident that happened at his work. One of his co-workers has my name too. So, yesterday he grabbed the post-it with my phone number...walked down the hall to the co-worker with my name and asked her if he could use the phone next to her desk.
He dialed and her phone rang. He thought to himself, "Oh, what an odd coincidence."
And then she picked up.
It was my turn to drive for our carpooling...but fortunately, I had already pulled into my parents driveway by that point.
I had to stop the car because I was laughing so hysterically.
I can just imagine this poor woman. This new employee walks into her office...asks to use the phone to call her...
Oh man...I don't think I've ever let loose and laughed like that in front of my Husband.
(My parents used to say to me, "Why are you laughing? Do you see anyone else laughing? No? Then it's not funny."
My mom and I had a conversation about this recently. She said she was trying to teach the child {in this case my nephew} that it's not appropriate to laugh sometimes. Like if someone is hurt...slapstick comedy. I told her I understood her point...but that when she said the same thing to me as I child...what I actually learned was that laughter was innapropriate and that I had a horrible sense of humor. She was distressed and asked what she should say to get the lesson across. I said I didn't know...but that perhaps a longer explanation of why it wasn't appropriate would be better.)
So, I had never laughed that deep belly laugh, loud and long...tears coming from my eyes...in front of husband before.
Later that night...he told me that I had made him smile more that day than ever before. I asked him to tell me one thing that I had done right.
And he said, "Laughing at his joke." He said he loves to make me laugh.
