The Pursuit Of Happiness

(My husband and I are taking a shower together. My favorite place to eat is [Restaurant] while my husband really doesn’t like it. I am quietly thinking when a song comes to mind that I sing.)

Me: “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.”

Husband: *clap, clap*

Me: *with a smile* “If you’re happy and you know it, then kiss me!”

Husband: *kiss, kiss*

Me: *hopefully* “If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it—” *my husband grins* “—if you’re happy and you know it, take me to [Restaurant]!”

(I wait with high hopes while my husband stands there glaring at me.)

Husband: *with a grin* “If you’re happy and you want to go to [Restaurant], get on your knees!”

(Neither of us were happy that night.)
