Unknown Papi Responds

My last post was about the little things my husband does for me on a regular basis that let me know I am loved. I listed a few of my favorites and one of the comments I got was:

lisleman said…
In addition to “praises me on her blog” what would Unknown Papi list about you?

Of course, I jumped at the chance to get Unknown Papi to sing my praises, but I was not sure that he would be game. I had to approach this delicately. We were in the kitchen and it went a little something like this:

Unknown Mami: You know people really seemed to enjoy the post I wrote about the little things you do for me that make me feel like the star of my own RomCom?

Unknown Papi: (not really listening) uh, huh. I’m hungry and I have to move the car for street cleaning.

UM: Someone asked what you would list about me.

UP: Someone asked or you’re asking?

UM: No really someone asked. Here I’ll show you the comment.

He reads the comment and shrugs his shoulders.

UM: So will you do it and then I can post it? You wouldn’t even have to write them down. You could just say them and I’ll do the rest.

UP: Sure.

UM🙁thinking – I can’t believe he’s going to do this. Jumps up and grabs a pen and paper) Okay, go ahead.

UP: Now?!

UM: Why not?

UP: Okay.

So here’s his list:

  • She’s a great mother and takes care of my daughter all the time and she’s good at it.
  • She’s hilarious and not in an easy sort of jokey way, but witty and smart.
  • She makes me lunches when I’m too lazy to do it myself.
  • She does my laundry.
  • She’s very affectionate and good in bed.
  • And when she does cook, she makes good food.
  • She spoons me.
  • She’s smart and helps me discover new ways of thinking.
  • She forces me to do things like this that I don’t want to, but when I do I’m glad I did.
  • She makes me smile.

UP: Great, everyone is going to think we’re so cheesy.

    Not cheesy but genuinely in love & that's always a beautiful thing to read/see. This is what more people should embrace, not the tearing down of each other. The little everyday moments, take them in & enjoy them.

    TOTALLY CHEESY!But very very nice.Every year for Valentine's Day I write 15 things about jeremiah that I love. A lot of them are too 'personal'(meaning sexual) to post, but every year he says he's going to do the same for me the next Valentine's Day…has yet to happen.And I still adore him.

    *little harps playing, cherubs dancing around the room* *L*But seriously, that is so cool. I ask my husband on occasion what is it about me he loves…I don't ask this often, once every few years and usually for my own amusement because he is so rubbish at it and looks at me like I'm an alien."Uh…your eyes". Yes, husband, my eyes aren't a 'quality'. Everyone has eyes. Then I roll said eyes and sigh. Husband baiting is such good fun. Hey, he has his sports, I have mine….;O)
