Or she could leave you and not get used to either of us.

Don’t give her any ideas. I count my blessings every single day that I wake up next to her.

rjclayborne:

You’d think by now that she’d be used to it or at least me.

I highly doubt she’ll ever get used to it. It’s just one of those things she’s going to have to live with, no matter what.

I think it’s you rubbing off on me. I used to be able to do everything on my plate and then some but lately it feels like I’m so scatterbrained when you’re around me. There’s nothing I can focus on except for you. Maybe I should divorce you until I at least finish graduate school. Though then those flowers I was thinking about getting would be wasted.

What a terrible thing to say to your husband who wants nothing but the best for you. As long as you give me 70% of the focus, you can give the 30% that are left to your collection. I think that’s fair, and we’ll avoid a nasty divorce.

You’re going to buy me flowers? If so you should ask about that special they have, buy a gram a coke get a free flower. You can keep the flower, give me the coke. I could resell it.

Why on earth would I want drugs when I’m getting flowers?

rjclayborne:

I’m flattered but you shouldn’t have. What would your wife say?

I already made this joke, the wife did not appreciate it.

I might need a bit more than a reminder. My memory isn’t what it used to be.

Is the old age getting to you already?

lorenaroma:

My husband? Who is this husband that you speak of?

Do you need a reminder?

#ch: lorena

lorenaroma:

Are you sure? He seems the type to enjoy a woman’s affections, flowers and all. Unless, I don’t know, you can think of someone else that would rather them? I wouldn’t want them to go to waste.

I hear your husband’s not quite the flower kind of guy, unless he’s giving them, but I think he would appreciate them this one time. Just once.

I thought about getting some flowers for someone very special — what’s your brother doing tonight?

I don’t think your brother-in-law would appreciate those flowers.

#ch: lorena #oh but he would never

lorenaroma:

Oh.

I can’t, I have plans.

Okay, we can kick him out some other day. What are you doing tonight, then?

#ch: lorena #can she not play with my heart

lorenaroma:

What look, this look? I can’t. It’s my face, it always looks like this.

I don’t know why you do a lot of things. Maybe because you love him? Maybe you’d rather him here instead of me? I can take the dogs and go, if you two want some alone time tonight. Do the whole flower petals in the hallway where it ends in a keg and those, what do you call them? Beer hats?

Babe, it was a joke. I was going to surprise you with some flowers, that’s not a crime, is it? We’ll kick him out of the house for the evening and it’ll just be the two of us. I’ll make us some dinner, we can watch a movie or do whatever you wanna do.
