I'm in Love With a Wall. Are You?

I think my husband is a fairly sensitive male, considering.

• He texts me to tell me I'm beautiful at the exact moment I'm covered in baby vomit.
• He comments on the pleasurable scent of the candle I have burning.
• He helped develop a unique form of baby talk that we use only when no one else is around. (Or should only use when no one else is around).
• He notices if I do something new with my hair.
• He talks to me for hours on the phone when I go out of town.
• He doesn't question my sanity when I scream from the next room that he needs to come save me from a bug.
• He has surprises down to an art form.
• He understands the importance of buying me chocolate milk when it's been a rough day.
• He's up to date on women's fashion and (most of the time) will have an opinion when we're out shopping.
• He doesn't have an opinion on my clothes unless I ask him. (I'm tellin' ya...he wasn't born yesterday).

But, at the end of the day, he can't escape one thing: he's still a man.

S: When you get home today we should go to the store. We need toilet paper and some shish kabob fixings.
K: Oh, and don't forget we need toilet paper.
S: Kyle, really?
K: Oh, did you just say that or something?

S: Ha ha ha, this is a good movie.
2 minutes later
K: Ha ha ha, I love this movie.
S: Wow, he's buff.
2 minutes later
K: Holy, he's huge.
S: I bet they're going to make a lot of money off of this.
2 minutes later
K: This movie is going to make bank.
S: It's so great that they kept the movie clean.
2 minutes later
K: Hey, it's cool there wasn't any bad stuff, huh?
S: Um, have you been repeating everything I say 2 minutes after I say it on purpose?
K: What? No....

Sometimes it's like I haven't said anything at all.

Don't even get me started on when he's watching football.

While looking at family pictures.
K: Whoa! I forgot you...you...
S: I what?
K: Looked that way.
S: You forgot I was huge?
K: No not huge! Just...wow, you know?
S: Kyle, I was 8 1/2 months pregnant in that picture.
K: And you were beautiful! But wow...ha ha.

....? oh mah goodness.

K: What do you want from the store?
S: I want raisin nut bran, bananas, orange juice, string cheese, and ice. Don't forget the ice. Do you want me to make you a list? You always forget the ice.
K: Please woman. I got this.
S: Okay...but just remember: I asked for 5 things. If you only come back with 4, you know you forgot something.
An hour later
K: Crap, I forgot the ice.

For Reals?

I often say to Kyle, "It's like I'm talking to the wall!"

To which he will always respond, "But you love me."

It's true. I do. And it's a good thing too.
