That would be my husband talking after he spun and then holstered his finger “gun”. He is being silly. Anyone who has witnessed the big man in a mood knows you need to smile and keep some distance or risk being hurt. As mentioned, he is very tall and when he starts flailing around it can be dangerous.
Just an hour ago he was soberly paying bills while I was dancing around the kitchen. I kept interrupting him. Finally I remembered what it is like when you are trying to do something and someone keeps interrupting you with inane comments. I am a mother so I am really clear on this. I stopped talking to him and concentrated on finishing the three (count em baby!) meals I was making. I saw him looking at me, “I’m kind of in a silly mood tonight.”
“I noticed.”
“I guess I have some energy. I wonder why.”
“I don’t know.”
“Maybe it’s because I got out of the house today,” the kids and I met friends for lunch, “or maybe it’s the Vitamin B spray finally kicking in.”
“Could be.” I decided to stop torturing him.
After we got the kids in bed I started working on an article. Soon Paul was ramming around the kitchen and yelling down the hall to where I sit. The tables had turned.
“Do you realize when one of us is in a goofy mood the other one is always the straight man?”
“Oh, that’s the way it has to be. If there isn’t a straight man…” He threw both of his hands in the air and shook his head.
It was too scary to be considered.
This made me laugh. I wish I lived close enough to know the big cowboy better.
lol Scary indeed.
