    I may have posted this conversation already--but it's one of only a few I actually wrote down and remember.  Wish I would have written them all down!

    DH and my conversation on our walk:

     

    DH:  Should we walk single file?  (There was a bike in the middle of the sidewalk.)

    Me:  Sure.

    DH  Should I walk on this side of you?

    Me: ok.

    DH  Should we talk?  What should we talk about?

    Me: I don’t care.  Do you have an idea you’d like to talk about?  

    DH  Let’s talk about the moon.

    Me:  Ok.


    Silence & End of conversation!!!

     

    The moon???  Where in the world????

    I posted this before too, but.....

    I just got ready for bed, when I spilled water on my PJs, so I decided to just sleep in my underwear. In the middle of the night, my wife had to pee. So I got up with her, as I always do. She looked at me, and said "Where are your panties?".

    Visiting my DW in MC.

    DW: (staring at me, frowning) “You shouldn’t be here. You have to get out of here!”

    Me: “Why..why do you want me to go?”

    DW: “ Because my husband is coming soon and you can’t be here when he comes!”
