Abe was channel surfing earlier today and stopped on a sports channel. He realized in an instant he had a teaching moment at hand and bid me to look at the TV. A hurdles race was about to begin at a track meet.
“See those women, how they’re setting up for the start? That’s how I want you to be, waiting for when you hear my call."
“I see. Coiled and ready to spring into action when you want me.”
“Exactly.”
The starting pistol rang out. “Birdie!” He demonstrated his call and pointed to the leader of the race.
“The one in front, that’s you.”
“Nothing gets in my way to reach you when you call me.”
“That’s right. That's how to be a good wife. Well, that’s all for now.”
I love my husband. He’s always thinking of me.

i'm surprised you didn't clock him...in the head :)
You should see the rise he gets when he does this stuff around other women. Perhaps I should point out that he is the one who most often makes dinner, does the laundry and vacuums. He really is a wonderful man.
Midlife wisdom - so inspiring! Thanks, Abe. I'll be trying this out on Bobby soon. Maybe I can get him to start calling me 'coach.'
Every relationship has it's balance and it seems you have found yours.
Why are husbands such smartasses though? LOL
he was serious?
A good line to remember is from Noel Coward...
"Well darling, you go on thinking that if it comforts you."
That's flat-out hilarious!
Run like the wind, Birdie!
Did you wake him up from his dream?
I would have howled with derisive laughter. But that's just me. Cute story.
Adorable.
