Tag Team Back Again
One of the unspoken benefits of being married is that you always have a gossip partner. 24-7, 365, any given situation.
And if you’re lucky, the same social minutiae that you laugh at, your spouse finds equally hilarious.
One of the joys of being with my wife is being in a setting, be it grocery store, mall, church, etc., and seeing something so worthy of scorn and mockery, that it only takes one look from either of us to elicit a response along these lines;
- Don’t even look at me
- Shut up
- If you don’t stop it
- You’re so stupid
Inevitably, the true laughter comes once we get to the car or a place where whispering and giggling wouldn’t be socially inappropriate. And we both know its wrong, and we both know that people probably laugh at and talk about us as much as we do other folks.
But its part of the common bond of marriage. Lunacy in all of its forms is funny. And it makes your flaws seem a little less annoying. So go ahead, laugh at somebody. The person you mock today may be the tender moment you and your partner have sorely needed and deserved.
