Oh You Slay Me, Part 3

(My husband and I have been exchanging good-natured teasing. He goes too far.)

Me: “That wasn’t funny. That was actually really hurtful.”

Husband: “Oh, sorry… um… I love you?”

Me: “I love you too.” *pause* “That’s why, when I kill you, I’ll do it in your sleep so that you don’t feel anything.”
