The boy

I just need to say something--my husband is always right. (Well. Just so you know that he's not typing this from my computer, I should add.. "always" should be read as "often, but mostly when he agrees with me, but occasionally when he doesn't" but "always" is stylistically superior.) I am, when it comes right down to it, antisocial and resistant to new things. It's not that I don't like new things, or that I don't think that change can be good.. it's just that I am sometimes intimidated by doing something I've never done. This can include new restaraunts and small stores where there aren't likely to be many other patrons.. trivial example but there are more serious ones. It's not like a paralyzing fear or anything, it's just that I will often take the path of least resistance. And sometimes, I will concoct elaborate rationalizations for why we shouldn't do something. Sometimes those rationalizations even make sense, even if they're not the best solution to the problem, whatever it might be. And it is in cases like this that he will point out why I should do the other thing regardless of my carefully-planned rationalization. And then I will argue the matter, and say that I'm not gonna do it. And then we will end the conversation, and often, I will go do the thing that he suggested out of guilt or responsibility or whatever. And then I will be so glad that I did whatever it was, and realize that oh, yeah, it was just that I didn't WANT to do this, it really is the best thing. I could go into detail on today's incident but it was a really small thing and kind of not bloggable, just about a phone call I needed to make. I just thought he might enjoy hearing that he's right. After all, days after we met, he uttered the phrase which I thereafter wouldn't let him forget saying--"I don't know anything about anything." You've come a long way, sweetie! ;)
