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:
- 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.
