We were watching The Simpsons, some episode about the bus driver, Otto, when my husband, through forkfuls of my delicious Tuna steak said, casually: “You know, in the 4th grade I invited our substitute bus driver over to my fort after school.”
Chortling on his young ideas about how camaraderie was formed, I managed to not spit up tuna into my napkin before asking, “So did he come?”
“He?” More tuna is snickered into his back molars. “SHE did not come, no.”
“You were such a player.” I noted, admiringly.
“I hollered the question at her from the back of the bus,” he mused, dreamily. “She was the step-daughter of our regular bus driver. She was a Pennsylvania girl – sturdy. She could have handled it.”
Showing me the "clutch"...
This is the man I married. I love literally everything about him.
That’s a nice pic of your paramour. How did you actually capture him smiling? Lighting tricks? Or was that photoshop trickery? Also: re: sturdy PA girls? LOLOL.
@ Phem: I had to trick him; I covered the camera with leaves and then showed him films of kids getting hit in the nuts with errent baseball bats. Sturdy indeed. That was maybe the funniest thing he’s ever said.
Aw, sweet.
Sorcia, it so fits that next to mine you’ve got the cutest husband ever.
@ Margo: Score!!
Thanks, M!
Hi Sorcia,
I found you @ HumorBloggers (in the intro forum); very glad I did. Can’t stop laughing.
Just so you know, you have just made yourself my target over at Venom, Secrets, & Lies today in my ‘Plug This, Sunshine!’ feature.
If you’ve got time, head over and take a peek. Goes without saying that if you’re unhappy with anything I’ve written today, I will remove it.
Keep up the great work.
Venom
Yeah, so I’m complimentary but frequently techno-challenged (hence the bad VSL link). Sorry about that…

Meh, you love his hair.
