reasons i love my lovely wife: day 17
She trusts no one.
True, this means that I can never surprise her with chocolate or other candied goodness:
Me: [Holding treat behind my back] Open your mouth and close your eyes and I’ll give you a BIG surprise.
My Lovely Wife: What is it?
Me: C’mon… just close your eyes-
My Lovely Wife: WHAT. IS. IT?
Me: [Sing-song voice] It’s a surpriiiiii-iiiiise…
My Lovely Wife: I’m outta here…
[My Lovely Wife leaves room. I forlornly eat treat.]
But… I never have to worry about her getting taken in by grifters.
No magic beans for this lady.

Sounds very much like MY WIFE. In all the years we’ve been married, I’ve never been able to get her to do that stand-with-your-back-to-me-and-count-on-me-to-catch-you-when-you-
fall-backwards exercise in trust.
Of course, it’s ME we’re talking about, so she might have the right idea about that. Still…

Oh, I wouldn’t even attempt something like that. The look she would give me for even mentioning it…
