A Nice Way To End It

(Currently my husband is pretty sick. I’ve been playing nursemaid so he doesn’t have to exert himself. At the end of the day, as I’m going to bed, we have this conversation.)

Husband: “Thank you so much for being nice to me today.”

Me: “…”

Husband: “No, you’re always nice! I mean, thanks so much for being nicer than usual.”

Me: *glares at him sternly*

Husband: “S***! I mean… uh… thanks for taking CARE of me! Taking care, not being nice. I… s***, just blame the fever, okay?”

Me: *finally breaking out laughing* “Of course, honey. I’ll be nice that way.”
