Married life 2

Me and my husband were talking about the distribution of power in our relationship.

He: "...and I know my place..."
I: "Under my toffel?"
He (resigned): "Yes."

Married life

My husband comes into the living room where I am sitting on the couch and says: "What would you like to have? What can I buy for you?"

I answer: "If you ask me what _I_ want then there is certainly something that you want and which you are trying to compensate me for, so I guess the real question is what _YOU_ want to have and how much it is going to cost us."

He (in a low voice): "I want a PS3."

I: "And I want a tummy tuck and new boobs."

He: "How much does that cost?"

I: "More than a PS3."

He hesitates, then says: "How about just one boob?"

You open your eyes and see that your respective other is doing what looks like aerobic exercises to that very music in his sleep instead of turning off his damn alarm.
I have a lot of mornings like that.

As they say: "...in good times and in bad..."
