Conversation with Hubz:
Hubz: So, how did your physical go?
Me: Great!
Hubz: Really?
Me: Yes, really. Were you hoping for them to find something wrong? Ready for your second wife?
Hubz: Sometimes, yes.
Me: What?!
Hubz: No, I’m just surprised everything was totally normal. You know, given your age.
Me: Given my age?! What’s that supposed to mean?
Hubz: Nothing bad. I just know that things start to go “awry” as we get older.
Me: Oh…this is because your last physical showed a few cracks in your armor, isn’t it?
Hubz: No, it’s not. I’m just surprised.
Me: My physical was better than your physical, nanny nanny boo boo.
Hubz: So now you’re competitive about blood work and colonoscopies, too?
Me: Oooooooohhhh!! That would be an awesome reality show! People could compete each week to see who gets the best results on their physicals! Wouldn’t that be cool?!
Hubz: Sigh
Me: What? It would be!
Hubz: So, they didn’t give you any meds?
Me: No.
Hubz: Sigh

Ha! My husband and I can be very competitive about our health reports as well. He is just naturally healthy without putting in any effort, while I have to work extra hard at it. Cracks in armor indeed. Love this.
I’ll bet your colon was way prettier than his was too. He’s just a sore loser and you’re the winner in the first round of competitive physicals. Go you!
Oh my, glad I married a classic Type B. (And glad you are now the proud recipient of great physical results.)
Leverage that superior physical for all it’s worth!
Thank you, Rebecca! I can pretty much turn anything into a competition with Hubz, but he usually wins 🙂
Ooooooooh! I hadn’t even thought to compare “photos”, Char! What a great idea!
Yes, two Type As can be “challenging”, Anne 🙂
Absolutely, Marcia! I will use any means necessary to get a foot up on him! 🙂
