Guess What

---

​This husband and I...

Do this thing…any random place or time…this old gal starts with a..hey guess what…he follows with a what…she finishes with…I love you…

Started it the other night…watching some boring show on tv…hey honey…guess what…a what…bounces back…and that’s when it happened…the expected response…the I love you…wouldn’t come…froze on the tongue…an old gal’s life…flashing before her eyes…

That little brother of mine…6 or 7 years old…that awful joke telling stage…the jokes never funny…but you laugh anyway to be kind…hey sis…he’d say…guess what…chicken bu**…and there it was…the specter of that little boy…looming on the old gal lips…

Told that husband of mine…the urge to change it up…the story of that young boy so long ago…and he…grabbed that ball…and ran with it…been guess whating and chicken bu**ing for days now…one of us so into it…we added a new doodad to the fridge…

And so it is…sometimes…it’s fun…to be silly…break the frame…laugh a bit…it’s good for the soul…and makes you feel…young again…so go ahead…try it…

Hey…guess what…

Felt good…didn’t it…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
