Ok, I always used to say that my hubby and I needed a "thing", a hobby, a special thing. Something fun that we both enjoyed doing, that would send us on new adventures with out even leaving the area. I mean for some couples its motorcycles, for some sky diving, or water skiing, boating, etc. Well we never found a "THING" He always had his video games and I always have my crafts, but nothing we could really focus on and look forward to together....
Since Lil'Veg came along I haven't really thought about that much because he became our "thing"... He is what we have in common that we both enjoy and we constantly can talk about. Well I thought that was obvious and a given, no need to discuss it....
So now for the silliness... Tonight my Hubby calls and says "I just figured it out" <figured what out> "We have a "thing"" <what?> "ya no, the thing you wanted all these years, we now have our "thing"" So at this point I'm thinking he has a brilliant idea, something zany, something we are going to do this weekend that we will all enjoy, something completely unexpected....and then reality hits with his next words. "We have Lil'veg, He's Our thing"
OK, YEAH, YA THINK, WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS???? That comment actually spewed out of my mouth (sometimes I can't control my mouth) and so he says "Alright I'm slow, but I hope you still love me" :-) <of course>
But this does explain a lot ladies. If it is true that they are slow at catching on to things and we've significantly measured a 3 year curve. Then maybe thats the whole problem. If there is a time lapse of up to 3 years between their brains and ours.... imagine how many things in our lives that this now makes perfect sense about. Hmmm?
