a charming scene of domesticity

I spent a couple of days home sick last week with a nasty cold. I was feeling generally crappy, and Tom was awesome- he made me lunch and then made chicken soup for dinner, brought me tissues and Sudafed, and just didn’t complain at all about the two days I spent on the couch playing WoW.

So that night, as we settled in under the covers, we had a conversation:

“You’re the best husband ever.”

“Oh, please. I’m good, but I’m sure I’m not the best.”

“No, you’re certainly at least in contention for best.”

“You’re biased.”

“Isn’t that the point? If I thought some other guy was the best husband ever, wouldn’t I be married to him?”

“Point.”

    Cue the theme from “Mad About You!”

    That point/counter-point conversation is one only a geek couple would have. Intelligent and adorable at the same time.

    Well, I was already married. But my wife will concede that Tom was the best available at the time. :)
