…my wife ever said to me was once, when she was reading some blog post of mine and snorted with a bit of disgust. It wasn’t really a snort – she doesn’t snort – but it’s her petite equivalent to snorting. I asked her what she was snorting over.
She said it was one of my tags I used on the post. I asked “Why? Which one?” wanting to fix the error in my assessment of things.
“Funny” was her reply. (I think it was the one about my report card.)
I got nervous. Self-conscious. “Well, uh, I thought it was funny.”
She wasn’t going to back down. “It was. It’s just that I don’t see that tag often but a lot of your posts are funny.”
I love her cause of her sense of humor…
So as I’m going back through all these posts, as I find myself doing at late hours of the night lately, I try and categorize things into many buckets that don’t quite fit. But when the bucket is “funny” – I can’t help but think of her unexpected comment, and smile.
