Profound Musings from the Mind of Kevin Conrad

From the very first time I met Kevin I knew he was a very smart boy. But as we dated a bit longer I learned just how intelligent he was when he finally let it slip that he was at school with a full ride scholarship. Each and every day since I am simply astounded by his incredible wisdom and after his awesome insight into the human condition last night I thought it was only fair that I share some of his Kevinisms with the rest of the world. To all those husbands out there looking for the ideal way to make their wife stop dead in her tracks, learn from this: Last night Kevin and I are joking around, teasing one another, generally having a good time as we get ready for bed. Just as we head to brush our teeth (Kevin had just been teasing me about my lack of personal hygiene and I was teasing him back with something equally as clever I'm sure) Kevin blurts out "I wish you were in a better mood more often." He then proceeded to explain that I'm much more fun when I'm in a better mood because he can play with me without getting in trouble. Luckily for him I suppose, I WAS in a 'better mood' last night and I found his comment extremely amusing.(Had I not been in a happy mood I probably would have transformed into my rabid alter ego and stalked off to bed in a huff.) As it is, I love his comment last night and it still has me laughing. :) I think my second favorite Kevinism came on a day when I wasn't in such a great mood. I know most people will find this hard to believe but I can be an extremely pig headed and argumentative person when in the right mood. And that was one of those days - poor Kevin couldn't move without getting in trouble. Well, about 9:00 that night (after terrorizing the poor boy since 6:30 that morning) I realized what a jerk I was being and I realized really needed to say I was sorry. Because I'm lucky and for some reason he still loved me he forgave me. Then he proceeded to help me figure out why I can be such a butt some days and why this then results in him turning on me. Kevin's incredible break through: We are BOTH butts! Not just any butts though - in his exact words "we are two cheeks of the same butt!" Now, to translate for those of you who don't speak Kevin: he was saying that when one of us gets in a bad mood it will almost certainly put the other one in a bad mood and then we will continue to feed off each other because when we get into a bad mood we are essentially the same annoyed person. Luckily, neither of us really likes being mad at one another either and we both feel the need to say sorry quickly - it also helps that we understand how the other one feels because at the very base of it, we feel exactly the same way. See how profound my husband is? Now if only we could convince him to have better timing and possibly better word choice... :) Oh, well, at least I can comprehend the Kevinisms most of the time... maybe after a bit more than six months I'll understand all of the Kevinisms and be in a better mood all of the time.
