PhD Stands For Pretty Harmless Dude

Mr. Handsome has his PhD and is very very smart -- I would say pretty much geniuslike -- but there are so many things he doesn't know or has a very difficult time understanding...

• directions or streets in the city, getting from Point A to Point B


• his way home


• his phone number
  
• his children's birthdates


• anything besides public administration and policy, and the Moody Blues


• that some things are just supposed to look pretty and not really do anything else


• that the remote phone does NOT belong on the mantel


• that the movie "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" is not about...shooting horses


• a peck on the cheek and a tweak of the buttock is NOT considered foreplay
  
• cleaning the bathroom entails moving things off the floor


• cleaning a 4 x 4 foot bathroom does NOT take most people two days to do


• cooking a pasta dinner doesn't have to entail using every single pot, pan and utensil in the kitchen


• cooking a pasta dinner doesn't mean leaving half the tomato sauce on the walls

What Mr. Handsome DOES know and understand is:

• my love for him is unconditional


• his love for me is unconditional (at least, it sure seems that way!)


• he's a great daddy


• he manages finances like no other


• he cares endlessly about his family


• the ultimate importance of family


• how to calm me down when I'm freakin' out, which is most days


• how to assure me that all will be fine


• that his logic balances my emotion


• he has more patience than anyone I know, except maybe me


• that he's a good person


• that he's a wonderful husband, even though I sometimes may make him think the opposite
  

I like the second list. How about you?
