Secret Agent Man was the best guy I ever dated. That's why I married him. He fit all the qualifications: Tall, tall, and tall.
We took a real leap of faith marrrying each other. We were penpals for two years, but only had been together in the same place, er country, for two weeks before we were engaged. Three short months later we started our life together in a small ranch-style home on a culdesac backed up to the 10 Freeway in Covina, California.
Since then we have grown, matured, and developed in our rolls roles as husband and wife. But, he seems to have hogged all the good characteristics for himself. He's freaky smart, physically strong, good with money, socially acceptable and now he wants to add... funny.
He tries really hard to be funny. Almost too hard. If I want to see that guy fill to the brim with pride, all I have to do is laugh at one of his jokes.
I don't want him to be funny, though. He got all the other good characteristcs. Why can't he leave "good sense of humor" for me?
He asks, "But, Honey, can't we both be funny?"
See what I mean?! Freaky smart that man is.
No, we can't both be funny. I'm the funny one in this relationship and I like it like that.
Don't misunderstand me. The man has short comings, which I am more than willing to point out. When he does something I don't like, he'll hear,
"My next husband won't forget to take out the garbage."
"My next husband will notice when I am wearing something new."
"My next husband won't ask me to turn in receipts for a two dollar burrito."
And to this his response is,
"I gotta meet this guy!"
Okay, I give...he is the funny one.
LOL... the funny ones are the best. Totally cute post.
ReplyDeleteWith two such funny people living together, your sides must be aching all the time.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think you're funnier, and I'm not just saying that.
Loved this post! I get bugged when Ted is funnier than me...but that is very rare ;)
ReplyDeleteYou lived in California?
This is my first ever mobile post. I am on the shuttle headed for the airport. Baby, I am coming home.
ReplyDeleteKids! Quick! Dad's coming home. Clean up!
ReplyDeleteCute post. My hubby is the funny one. But I have my moments and I am so happy when I make him laugh. :)
ReplyDeleteSo you lived in Covina-backed up to the 10? I drive almost everyday to Glendora so my kid can fulfill her life long dream to become a broadway dancer.
My husband is a Glendora native. Where does she go "Dance Street West?" Is that place still open?
ReplyDeleteMillie was first to comment, but I may or may not know where she is blogging now.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'll put Ms. Organic on my sidebar for being the first commenter of the day.
"developed our rolls as husband and wife"
ReplyDeleteTotally. I had probably a quarter the rolls I rolls I have now. Shad may have even more. :)
This post reminds me of a quote from Baby Mama. It goes something like, "Being a good person is your thing he's trying to take that away from you."
ReplyDeleteCUTE CUTE CUTE... I loved this post!
ReplyDeleteE-Dub, Ha! "The rolls," I get it. I made a funny and I didn't even mean to. See, how funny I am?
ReplyDeleteI'm still at Mad Libs or the genealogy blog. For whoever's asking.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Splenda is NEVER funnier than me. Okay, once he was. But I quickly shot his dream down!
ReplyDeleteI am always surprised when my hubs laughs at what I say.
ReplyDeleteYour SAM sounds like a good catch. You are super sweet and savvy and I don't think he could touch you on that!
That sounds like a conversation that could have taken place at our house.
ReplyDeleteLOL! My wife and I compete to be funny one at our house, too.
ReplyDeleteHA! Good one S.A.M.!
ReplyDeleteYou make a great couple
(I could almost see you having your own action figures.)
Great picture! Funny!
ReplyDeleteExactly how tall is Secret Agent man?
ReplyDeleteI always expected SAM to be tanner than that picture depicts. He speaks Spanish, Latin dances, swept you off your feet within minutes of meeting you. I would have expected him to be Latin.
ReplyDeleteTell SAM thanks again for taking my boys to the Terminator movie, or as they say in Boston-speak the Tehminatah movie.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...You said the magic word! "Burritos"!!!
ReplyDeleteYour husband may be funny, but he's not nearly as funny as you are! Seriously it's true!
I agree with Sunbum. You are difficult to beat in the funny department. But that's cool that he's funny too. You'll enjoy laughing together for the rest of your life! :)
ReplyDeleteReally? He's from Glendora? I wonder if he knows some of our Glendora ward members.... She dances with Encore. I don't know about the other place, but Encore has been open for 25 years. They are actually moving this summer and I am SOOOOOOO happy because it will be closer to me--my side of the 57! Woot!
ReplyDeleteLove the "rolls" comment. I must now go and exercise my rolls.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, my secret agent almost never laughs at me. It's like my humor (and I'm freaky funny too) goes right over his head.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty darn funny how Secret Agent Man can pop his eyeballs out! Can YOU do that? Tee hee! ;)
ReplyDeleteI make the stupidest jokes EVER, and Kris Face laughs at them. I have no idea why! :D
ReplyDeleteMy hubby was born in Glendora, grew up in Simi Valley. His name is Robert also.
ReplyDeleteI am from southern CA, in fact I grew up with Alice Wills Gold.
My hubby is the funny guy at our house, tall, smart and not so great with money....that one is mine!
Hi, I just found you on MMB. My husband is always claiming to be the funny one. He doesn't put me down or anything but he's constantly telling me how much funnier he is than me. Then the other day out of the blue my kids told him that I was funnier than him. That's four against one. I am the funny one.
