Me: I’m getting old.
Hubz: We all are.
Me: No, I’m getting old faster.
Hubz: I don’t even know what that means.
Me: It means I caught myself flossing.
Hubz: Um, okay.
Me: I was sitting there on the edge of the bed last night, flossing, and I realized, I freakin’ floss! Every day!
Hubz: Shouldn’t that be something to be proud of?
Me: No! It means I’m old!
Hubz: Oooooookay. First, if I’d known you weren’t flossing every day, I would have stopped kissing you. Or at least gotten better dental insurance. Second, most people are proud they floss regularly.
Me: Well I’m not. Only old people remember to floss every day. Right before they take their nightly Metamucil.
Hubz: Right. I’m sure that’s completely false, but I don’t have time to argue with you.
Me: This is like the butt conversation, isn’t it?
Hubz: I don’t even want to know.
Me: It’s like when I ask you if my butt looks big. You are always suddenly very late for something.
Hubz: I really do have to go. Try to be proud of yourself for flossing daily.
Me: Yeah, and you try to be proud of yourself for …driving slow!
Hubz: mumble mumble
Me: Did you just say, “Help me” under your breath?!
Hubz: No, I said, “Have a good day, sweetie.”
Me: You are totally big butting me.

Oh no! Marcia, I think you are just smarter than I am. When the dentist told me to floss, I just liked to believe it was a friendly suggestion 🙂
Kim, he knows the look – and then bolts 🙂
Thanks, Kate! I wish he did! 🙂
