Last night after dinner, my wife was sitting on the couch flipping through channels. I sat down next to her.
“I don’t remember the last time I saw you channel surf,” I said, somewhat proud.
She went past the History Channel, which was airing a “Modern Marvels” episode about 1970′s technology, and continued up the list. I said nothing, but silently hoped she would go back to that or maybe stop on the Golf Channel rather than land on “HGTV”
Without a word, she went back to the History Channel and put the remote down.
“Thanks!”
“You’re welcome,” she said.
“Are you reading my mind, or something?”
She turned around and looked at me, and smiled. Then, without taking her eyes off of mine, she picked up the remote and keyed in the number for the Golf Channel.
The fact that she knew I was thinking about it proves we have a good connection.
The fact that she knew the channel number off the top of her head proves she loves me a whole lot.
As I’ve said before, she’s a keeper.
So sweet! I like to do that for Jim as well. He knows how much I despise most of the History channel programming (it bores me to tears most of the time), but I will put it (or some cycling) on for him on occasion.
Michael's Mommy is a thoughtful gal!
What a sweet, wonderful wife you have! How great you are to realize that!
I try to show my husband how much I appreciate him by letting him rule the remote and keep on the ball game of his choice.
It's the little things in life, isn't it?
That sounds like a great reason to me. My wife thinks I can read her mind so I guess we have a ways to go
Cousin A and Grandma K totally agree that Michael's Mom is a keeper.
@Melisa — She is a very thoughtful gal, and I'm dang lucky to have her.
@Surprised — It is all those little things that can make married life so sweet. Little kindnesses, little sacrifices, little tidbits of love. Like sprinkles on a doughnut. Mmm… doughnuts…
@Tyler — What, you can't really? Don't let on!
@Grandma K and Cousin A — But you're not biased in any way, right?
I'm just glad she thinks I'm one too.
I love it. That it totally cool.
Does it make me sweet if I know when the Bachelor is on? If so, hopefully my wife will give me the props you gave your wife.
You are lucky. I recently made my husband suffer through an episode of House Hunters on HGTV and he wasn't very happy about it.
@WeaselMomma — She is totally cool.
@Scott — Hmmm… well, if you turn that channel on, and give her a foot massage while she's watching, you're in there.
@Momo — I used to hate that show. Something about Suzanne Whang that bugged me. They don't have her on so much now, so I've started to actually like it. A little.
