How to Say I Love You
Saturday, August 11th, 2007Today, my fair reader, is my EIGHTH anniversary. Yep, Prince and I have endured living under the same roof for 8 full years now.
So, I buy him this VERY sweet card. It was cavity inducing.
Then this conversation ensues:
Me: Happy 8th. I’m SO happy that we are past our 7th year.
Him: Why?
Me: 7 was a hard year. It was the closest I’ve ever gotten to feeding you rat poison.
Him: Oh how sweet, you were thinking of poisoning me?
Me: Well, only a little and only for short periods of time. It isn’t like I planned it and purchased rat poison or anything. YET. (I say with that warning face.)
Him: Could you get me a cup of coffee, without the rat poison, please.
In case you were wondering, there is no amount of explaining that you were NOT planning on poisoning your husband — but making a joke.
(And in case anyone was curious, we don’t OWN any rat poison. Nope, none. Yes, I checked.)
