​This old gal…

Did one of those couple quizzes…found online…you know…what’s my favorite restaurant…name my favorite movie…what’s my favorite thing to eat…got to the question…name one thing I say all the time…and that’s where the questioning…took a detour…

This old gal…knew right away what she says all the time…it was so obvious…makes sure to say it every day…expects to hear it back…I love you…

Some training had to be held…this husband of mine not parroting the phrase back fast enough for his wife’s satisfaction…you know I love you…he would say…I wouldn’t have married you if I didn’t…but to this old gal…it’s important to hear it back…can’t say why for sure…it just is…he gets it now…and my ping I love you…is quickly returned with his…pong…I love you too…

So this question…what do I say all the time…a breeze…no brainer…easy Peasy lemon squeezy…he thinks a bit…hems and haws…then ever so boldly…goes where no man has gone before…

I have a headache…you say I have a headache…all the time…touche’…

I love you…ping…I love you too…pong…game over…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
