Crazy Thoughts

This morning Big Dave sent me a link to a movie trailer. He thought it would be something we could see this weekend. Since he was having some trouble making sure the email went through, he logged onto my email to verify the link was there. While in my email account, he observed a little box in the corner which stated something like, "Someone has a crush on you. Click here to find out who!"

He called me into the office. "Hey, babe, come check out your email. There's something you should see." He had a funny look on his face.

I waddled in. "What is it?"

"Something interesting you might want to check out."

I sat down at the laptop, and checked the date. Yep, April 1st. "It's not an April Fools joke or anything, is it?" I eyed him suspiciously.

"I don't think so." He paused for a second. "I'm not sure."

"So it's not something you sent me?"

"No, I had nothing to do with it."

So I opened up my email and saw the box. "Crush? What in the world?"

He leaned over my shoulder. "So someone has a crush on my wife. This should be interesting."

"This has got to be some mistake. No one I know would have a crush on me, and if it's a stranger, they can stay unknown to me."

"Go ahead and click. Let's see who it is."

Turns out, it was a banner ad for a new type of dating/singles forum. I knew there was a logical explanation. But the funniest part of the whole thing was the look of enormous relief on Big Dave's face when he realized it was nothing.

That shocked me. Here sat my best friend and the love of my life, the father of my child, the fixer of my computer, and he could actually think for one millisecond that I might EVER entertain the notion of being with anyone else.

"You didn't actually think I would ever step out on you, did you?" I laughed.

He smiled sheepishly. Then rubbed my bulging 6-month belly. "I would hope not."

"Babe, you know better than that. Why would I go out for hamburger when I have filet mignon at home?" I kissed him.

He grinned. "Just wanted to make sure." He left the room.

While most of me was suprised at his reaction, a small part of me was pleased. After 15 years together, he still got jealous.

What a crazy world!
