Can I quote you?

I love funny sayings, especially when they come from my own family. I actually have a quote book where I store them. Sometimes I put motivational or spiritual quotes in there but more often than not they just end up being funny things that my kids or my husband say. Today netted a good one...

because Hubb and I had a fight.


Again.


We've had a few of them lately. I think it is because we have hit a new phase lately. One that is seeing us busy, busy, busy. We've hardly had time together, he hardly sees the kids. It's high five on the way out the door and "See you next Tuesday." I hate it. And it has both of us tense, so therefore, we've fought a little more than normal. Nothing serious. No lawyers on the phone. But it's becoming difficult for both of us. I can't post this on my regular blog because I have a rep to protect. WE never fight. Not us!

So tonight as our disagreement wound down I remarked that I hated fighting all the time. His response...

"Then stop making me mad."

Maybe it should have made me angry but I laughed my head off. I never can stay mad at him. He's too good at making me laugh. But that's not the end. I felt bad for our argument and did penance by giving him a back rub. I asked if he forgave me since I rubbed his back.

His response...

"Yes, and I'll forgive you for the next two arguments if you'll rub my legs, too."

Love that man!

I'm not funny

Hubb just informed me that I am not funny.

I disagree!

{I'm funny!} He just lost his sense of humor 10 years ago. It's true. My mom says so.

But even if it were true. Do you have to say it? It's kinda along the same lines as telling someone they have morning breath. Of course I have morning breath in the morning. Everyone does. That's why I brush my teeth every morning. I'm doing my best here.

The only difference here is that while morning breath is universal and repulsive, humor is subjective. What's funny to me may not be funny to you but that doesn't mean I'm not funny. Maybe you didn't read what I wrote with the right tone of voice. Maybe you had a bad experience with goats as a child so no amount of goat humor could make you laugh. Maybe you'd get it if you weren't so tired. Maybe you just had to be there.

I was there. Trust me, {I'm funny}.
