The Sweet Husband

Eating Peanut Butter with a spoon

Conversation from the fringes of insanity

SH: Is it ok if I tell you that something you do bothers me?

Me: Sure, as long as you realize I might keep doing it.

SH: You probably will, but I just don't want you getting mad.

Me: I can't guarantee I won't get mad, because I have no clue what you are talking about, but even if I do, I will get over it. so go for it.

SH: ok, but why can't you just say ok, I won't get mad?

Me: It depends on what you are going to say, and also how long this is going to take, to be honest you are already pissing me off, so you might just better go ahead. Have you talked to me about this before?

SH: Nope, this will be the first time.

Me: Is it something that just started bothering you?

SH: Nope, it's bothered me since the first week we were married.

Me: Hmmm, well, I'm glad you got right on with it, to get me to change it.

SH: Grinning a little, I was waiting for the right time.

Me: Think the right time might be in 2014? You are dragging this out and time's getting short.

SH: Why do you eat peanut butter from a spoon and won't eat a peanut butter sandwich?

Me: Dammit, get to what's bothering you, I'm tired of this already.

SH: But that is what bothers me, you eat peanut butter from a damn spoon!

Me: Laughing by now, are you serious? I don't like bread with peanut butter, but I like peanut butter, and it would just feel kind of wrong to scoop it out in hand, so I use a spoon.

SH: I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Me: Good for you, special K.Eat all of them you want, nobody has said they can't be served, I even make them for you, what is the problem?

SH: I want a sandwich now, you've made me hungry. Don't call me special K, I knew you were going to get mad.

Me: I know you have seen me mad before, and do you ever remember me laughing when it happened?

SH: A couple of times, I am pretty sure you were laughing right before you wanted to poke me in the eye.

Me: That could be today, you are right, want me to make you a sandwich so you won't be hungry when I poke you in the eye?

SH: That would be good, maybe it will give me enough energy I can out run you .
