Silliness has long been a part of our marriage and in the last 10 years it’s been a respite through 2 new children and more demanding work.
Our silliness happens no matter where we are or what we’re doing. The daily in and out of life has a way of getting on you, but the silliness refreshes you and preps you for what comes next.
Missy’s silliness happens when I don’t expect it. For instance, if I am in a long meeting at work I’ll sometimes video her just to see what is going on at home. When I look down at the screen I see this:
You try not laughing when you glance at that funny face!
I’ve also created a game of trying to scare Missy when I get home. She puts up with it even though she sometimes catches me in the act and scares me!
Some of our better times scaring:
So, there you have it. After 30 years of marriage, examples of love and kindness, it all comes down to silliness.
