His and Hers II
Last week we began a weekly feature called His and Hers, wherein Mrs. Happy and I each share our views of the same question or topic. This week's topic is: Talk about something funny you have done to or for your spouse.
Curt's response
When we were first married, we teased each other quite a bit and had a lot of fun getting to know each other as husband and wife. One day, Mrs. Happy was taking a shower and I thought it would be funny to pretend I was trying to sneak a "forbidden" peak at her as she washed herself. The toilet in our apartment was right next to the shower, so I climbed up onto the toilet, poked my head over the shower curtain, and said, "I see you!" in a sing-songy voice. Just then, the toilet lid shifted and I fell into the shower, taking the shower curtain and rod along with me. Water splashed everywhere, I got soaked, and Mrs. Happy's shower had to be put on hold for nearly half an hour while I tried to reinstall the curtain—no easy task since both of us were laughing hysterically for hours after that.
Mrs. Happy's response
Curt and I have always had little inside jokes with each other. Some of them are silly, some are funny, and some are downright hilarious, and most stem from silly little things I've done that somehow take on a life of their own (for example, the victory fist when we recognize something on TV). Unfortunately, these inside jokes don't translate well into stories that other people would find funny. I guess that's why they're called inside jokes. I'm having trouble thinking of something that I've done to or for my spouse that other people would find funny. The only thing I can think of is the time I took Curt to Joe's Crab Shack for his birthday. I blindfolded him before I drove him there so he wouldn't know where we were going, and I didn't remove the blindfold until we were inside and sitting at a table with all our friends. It was a fun evening, and toward the end of the meal, the waiters all sang Happy Birthday to him while making him stand in a chair, bend over, and spell out his name in the air using his (adorable) rear end.
