We’ve been working on side-by-side computers tonight, Jeremy working on TrueTech’s website and me working on homework (schoolwork that is, not house-work). I called it quits before Jeremy and started browsing TripAdvisor.
Angela: You know, we should go to the Cape for a vacation this year. It’s been long enough. I bet we could have some fun.
::pause::
Jeremy: Yeah, we could do Diver Ed again.
Angela: Um, that’s in Maine.
Jeremy: Okay… I think I totally just missed what you said.
Angela: I said we should vacation on the Cape this year.
Jeremy: OK. Here’s what’s really funny. You said Cape, which made me think of the ocean, and that’s how I got Bar Harbor out of it.
I am so totally cracking up.

Angela is submitting her final exam for her math course, labeled “first initial, last name, title of assignment”. Jeremy walks by.
Jeremy: a Biggs Final Exam?!
(Leave a comment if you don’t get it - I think it needs a little more explanation, but Jeremy likes it like this!)

Angela (in the car, on the road): Was there a divider here at some point? It looks like they added lanes.
Jeremy: No, I think these were always here, maybe they just changed the lane functions. Or maybe they smalled them up somehow.
Angela: Smalled them up, huh?
Jeremy (totally oblivious): Yeah.
Jeremy starts laughing, right away but obviously about something unconnected. (Background break: When Jeremy was about four or five, his mother drove over a tummy-tickling hill and Jeremy cried out, “That whees my bum, Mommy!” I can’t figure out how to spell “whees”. But it’s “whee” as in an expression of enjoyment on an amusement ride.)
Angela: What?
Jeremy: I was just thinking of the grammatical hilariousness of the phrase, “That whees my bum”.
Angela: Hilariousness? …Hilarity?
Jeremy: Well yeah, but it wouldn’t be so funny if I said it right.
And he continues to drive along, both of us totally cracking up.

When your wife just finished making dinner and is clearing off the dishes from the counter into the sink, do not pick that moment to ask, “Is there anything I can do?”
The only answer to such an ill-timed question is, “Well, yes, you can do these dishes.”
Jeremy learns something new every day. As his dishpan hands can attest.

Jeremy and I are clearing out the dish drainer so we can take care of the dishes in the sink. Suddenly he starts hitting me with something hard along both sides of my spine.
Angela: Ow! What are you doing?
Jeremy: I’m spooning you.
Hardy har har.

Angela has had a sore thumb for a couple of weeks, accompanied by some serious power loss in the digit.
Angela: I can shuffle cards now.
Jeremy: Really? That’s good.
Angela: Yeah, it was kind of unnerving. Opposable thumbs are one of the biggest differences that make us human. It was like being a monkey.
Jeremy: …. Monkies have opposable thumbs.
Angela: Oh.

Patchies (the younger of our two female cats) has a bad habit of moving into my space when I get out of bed or get up from the couch. She crawls right into my spot on Jeremy and snuggles in. I’ve called her on this before, but she persists.
Tonight, she snuggled right onto Jeremy’s lap just as we finished dinner (on the couch in front of the TV).
Angela: I notice Patchies took my spot again.
Jeremy: Take it back.
Angela: What, are you trying to get the girls to fight over you?
Jeremy: Cat fight?
*Some rolling laughter*
Patchies begins to lick Jeremy’s fingers.
Jeremy offers the fingers of his other hand to me.
Ha, ha, ha.

November 2005: Angela: So Jeremy, you’re not going to save your vacation all to the end of the year next year, right? I’ll have some time starting in July, we could take some time off together for once. It looks like fall will really busy at work for me though.

March: Jeremy takes a week.
April: Angela: So Jeremy, when do you want to take some time off together?
May: Angela: So Jeremy, do you want to take some time off together? If you save your vacation all until the end of the year, I won’t be able to take any time because of year-end and the audits.
June: Angela: So Jeremy, are you going to take another week? When you save it until the end of the year, you end up in the middle of all those blackout dates and it’s just a mess.
July: Angela: So Jeremy, I have some vacation time now. Do you want to take some time off together?
August: Angela: So Jeremy, if we’re going to take time off it has to be now - next month starts the craziness at my job.
September: Jeremy takes a week.
October: Jeremy takes a week.
November: Angela: So Jeremy, I have a four-day weekend for Thanksgiving. Can I have a day? I know you have to work Friday, but how about the weekend?
Jeremy: I just took a vacation and had two weekends off in a row. I’ll be working that weekend.
Angela: [flat-voiced] Friday, Saturday, Sunday you’re working. I’m sitting at home alone for an entire four-day weekend.
Jeremy: Well, if you wanted time with me, we should have thought of that a long time ago.
*Ba-dum-bum.*

Your husband, while using the bathroom, says to you:
“I wonder if they make cream colored toilet paper. Just for the pictures. Is that something we could special-order?”
And no, I know for a fact he’s not gay.
