Words Fail Me

Like any good husband, I try to make sure to let my wife know that I love her in different ways.

But sometimes the question comes to mind on the spur of the moment and she needs to ask. And on those occasions I like to have a romantic answer ready for her. She’s a dialog ninja, though, and sometimes my best efforts fall flat.

Recently we were driving to the store, and she asked:

“Do you love me?”

“Absolutely I do. Only more today than yesterday,” I said, thinking I’d given her a good one.

After a microscopic pause came the response: “How come you didn’t love me that much yesterday?”

I think she just loves to see me slap my forehead.

  1. Bwahahahahaha!!!

    I love her. She’s hysterical.

    (and thanks, Michael’s Mommy: I might borrow that!)

    (MD) She’s got a million of them. I’ve toyed with the idea of starting another blog…

  2. Another blog, or you could write a book of Michael’s Mommy’s one-liners fashioned after the book of bumper stickers!

    (MD) I’d probably have to cut her in for part of the proceeds… but I could definitely write a book. Maybe I’d better keep a notepad with me at all times.

    LMAO!!!! Sometimes it’s fun making my husband’s head hurt. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love him so much. I love you honey!!!

    (Hubby) I know you do, sweetie pie. You wouldn’t put up with me otherwise.

  4. Ah, fun with husbands is always precious.

    (MD) Good thing we think our wives are cute.

  5. A great answer! I may have to borrow it, after all it is fun to mess with a husband’s mind.

    (MD) I guess it’s unanimous. I think maybe I need to start a husband’s support group.

  6. I see I am a day late and a dollar short as they say. However, here is what you can say to the dear girl: “Well, I am more mature and discerning and even perceptive today than I was yesterday.” Ha, how about that? Love, Your mom
