Yeah, really!
Okay, okay, maybe I should say, Marry the One who will make you laugh. But not just someone with a great sense of humor or someone who can tell funny jokes. Marry someone who knows how to make YOU laugh, who GETS you, and who’s not afraid to make you laugh by laughing at himself (also, be able to laugh at your own self or you’re in deep doo-doo.)
My husband knows that “silly” is one of my love languages. Pretty much no one in his life would describe him as silly, but he learned “silly” for me. We have a secret love language of our own, consisting of funny movie and Saturday Night Live sketch quotes, and he always knows JUST what to say, or quote, to make me LOL when I am S-T-R-E-S-S-E-D.
Recently, he made me CRY tears of hysterical laughter on my 40th birthday when I came downstairs and he had shaved his beard. Although I love his beard, I am fond of telling him how much OLDER it makes him look (because it does!), so he SHAVED IT OFF on the morning of my birthday party, so that at MY birthday, everyone would be saying how young HE looks (he’s about 3 months younger than I am, SIGH.) He’s such a brat, but I loved it. I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed so hard in my life (I could NOT look at him for like a full hour without just howling with laughter.)
The brat shaved his beard on my 40th birthday and came out looking 10 years younger!!
The man has a million wonderful qualities, really. He is handsome, smart, loving and hard-working. And I am SO thankful for all of that. But I wouldn’t trade the Fartface component of my marriage for the WORLD.
So ladies checking off your “Mr. Right” list – make sure you put whatever your “Fartface” is on there. And don’t marry the One who can’t cross it off.
And Honey, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Thanks for being funny. Except for that one time you made me laugh so hard in Food Lion that I peed my pants a little. That wasn’t cool.
