A guest post by my husband:
MrsPages and I are in the throes of some personal and relationship healing. We’re both really looking at ourselves and each other and talking about why certain things keep happening and why certain other things aren’t happening. It’s been wonderful to look at our lives, discuss things, mull over them and then look back and say “Oh yeah! I’m a selfish git about that! Wow, I never realized,” and then ask and get forgiveness and truly work on loving each other even more.
During a walk to Forbidden Flavours (a local coffee shop) for two large decaf Melanges, MrsPages was talking about her latest revelation: her over-developed sense of duty. She will deny herself things even when it’s not entirely necessary, because “duty” says that’s the right thing to do.
In the midst of the conversation, she came out with this gem: “Of course the choice was clear to me and my duty-head…” I giggled. I laughed. I daresay I even guffawed. MrsPages stared blankly.
“What? What’s so funny?”
“You have a duty-head! MrsPages is a duty-head!” (say it out loud…)
Okay, so she didn’t find it that funny. The interesting thing is that none of the women who have heard this story think it’s funny either, but all the men giggle like schoolkids.
Then, of course, we make fart noises with our armpits and then go ring doorbells and run away. Maybe this will come up in the course of our relationship discussions.

I’m I woman and I think it’s funny. (Sorry MrsPages) MrBranches and I love to poke jokes like that ;P
Be supported MrsPages, I didn’t laugh. Neither did my husband….you are not alone!:-)
Yes, but at our small group last night, a fellow male, giggled like a school girl! MrPages felt vindicated!
Apparently I’m not a very good woman, because I think it is funny… must have caught me at the right time. Of course, I *do* spend much of my day with a male teenager, so if you can’t laugh at doody-jokes, there won’t be a lot of laughter!
