How I Wooed My Husband

Chocolate pudding.

Rubber bands.

Sounds a little kinky, no?

Not at all.

We worked together, and there were a lot of rubber bands around. I made sure, that every time he looked up from his computer terminal, I was there, with a rubber band, pulled tautly back from a pencil, ready to shoot. He'd flinch. I'd laugh. Foreplay people. I only accidentally hit him once.

Being a woman, I knew that I could not rely on rubber bands alone. You have to use your wiles to shake things up from time to time. This is when you pull the chocolate pudding out of your bag of tricks. You see, it's not just for dinner.

Every time he looked up from his computer terminal, (if I didn't have a rubber band at the ready), I'd have a mouth full of chocolate pudding, and I'd open my mouth for him to see a big disgusting glob of it on my tongue.

Wrapped that man right around my finger, yes I did.

Now who's twisted, me?

Or him, for thinking to himself, I need to get me some of that.

The best couples always start with good childish humor...always.

You'd think it'd be the other way around-the man tempting the woman with chocolate.

Umm, I think you definitely belong together. If you can't make each other laugh, you'd better not plan on having kids....

Him - he's definitely the more twisted! His new name is H&TT.

That is adorable!

And, we come from the same school. I reeled in my husband (then boyfriend) by prancing around the apartment wearing my shower cap and glasses. How could the man resist?

Um, did you meet him in Kindgergarten? ;) Laughter is what gets us through our days in this household. Glad you and HT share it too.

your writing never fails to get me to smile!

ooh how could he have resisted? You appealed to his four year old chocolate pudding-glob-lovin' self, his 12 year old rubber-band -shooting -self and of course your loveliness appealed to his grown-up HT-self! Brilliant strategy!
