Compulsive (3)
I popped my head out of my home office just now to see if indeed my wife was still head down over that puzzle. Indeed she was…in fact…getting feisty again as she can sense, feel, emotionally see the end and that very last piece being put in place.
At the risk of encouraging a fiery response, I said, “I should get to put the last piece in place”. My wife immediately responded with three simple statements:
(1) “You ain’t puttin’ the last piece in this puzzle.”
(2) “You will die first.”
(3) “I don’t love you that much.”
As I sit back for just a moment and ponder her words, that fire, that passion, that emotional response is exactly why I love her.
Did I tell you she’s Cajun?
