The other day, my husband was getting ready to go to the gym, and I was following him around making conversation.
Me: I read an article that said that couples who kiss more often are happier.
Him: We kiss.
Me: I know, but how well? I mean, do we kiss like we did when we were dating?
Him: Yes?
Me: You should sound more certain.
Him: Come here. (He kissed me.) See?
Me: That was like two seconds. They say we’re supposed to kiss for a full twenty seconds for chemical bonding to happen.
This won me an eye roll, which wasn’t entirely unjustified. We have a lot of conversations that spring from online articles I’ve read. Yahoo relationship articles have the depth of Cosmo quizzes, so I don’t begrudge him a few eye rolls. He wandered off to find his back pack and then stopped at the front door.
Him: Okay, bye. Love you. (He bent for a quick kiss.)
Me: Wait. Twenty seconds. Like this…
And I kissed him. To fill up twenty seconds of kissing takes a bit more commitment to the process, and when I was done with him he blinked down at me.
Him: Okay, like that.
Me: Yeah, like that.
Him: Where is my back pack? I’d better go get it.
Me: On your back.
Him: Oh… You’re good at that.
Yes, yes I am! With him, at least. We’ve still got it. 😉
Somewhere in this post is a comic scene for a novel (smile)! Have a great weekend!!
It’ll probably appear in a novel somewhere! 😀 Have a wonderful weekend, too!
