Let's Spoon
Thought you would all enjoy the conversation I had with my husband this morning on the way to marriage counseling.
I think everyone should do some sort of counseling in their life, especially if you're married. And when you've been together since you were 15 years old, it helps to have a 3rd party referee your conversations sometimes so no one loses an eye or lights something on fire. I like having someone with no vested interest in us telling me I am justified in being pissed off by his blatant disregard for my beauty sleep by his chainsaw snoring and he likes getting confirmation that I am in fact, bat shit crazy. It's a win-win for everyone.
Husband: It's too early for this shit.
Me: And by "shit" you mean our marriage. That's nice.
Husband: You know what I mean. I'm not even awake yet and we're supposed to talk about our feelings. Some things shouldn't be done before 9am.
Me: No, I get it.
Husband: I wonder if the therapist has Visine? My eyes aren't even awake yet and I feel like she's going to be judging me when I yawn.
Me: Now that you mention it, I haven't even had my coffee yet. I kind of want to kill you just for breathing right now. This session might not be very productive.
Husband: See what I mean? It's unnatural. I acknowledge the anger you feel without your morning cup of coffee and I support you in the murderous rampage you want to unleash on me right now.
Me: I appreciate your acknowledgement.
Husband: We should just ask her if we can spoon on her couch for an hour.
Me: See? We don't even NEED therapy. We just fixed ourselves.
Husband: Shut up, this is a good song. *turns up radio*
Me: It's like you don't even care.
