For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 28, 2012

The life of parents. Once you have kids, the next time you have time to look at each other, you’re grey and wrinkled.

I’m a woman, and even I wouldn’t subject a man to sleeping with a woman who looked like that! LOL! I thought old biddies did that to themselves before bed?? Not young mothers.

Easy to tell they’ve been married for a while!

It’s not halloween yet.

A propos to yesterday’s comment about posting a phone number here: if I post the first three numbers of my phone in a foreign language without saying which language, how many readers could guess the numbers?: Haft-Yek-Hasht

718 in Farsi.

WOW! At least 2 people here know Farsi. I’m humbled!

They’re just comfortable around each other. I don’t have a problem with it. Typical for any long-term relationship. The problem I have is with Elly analyzing too much. Just relax and enjoy the part of life you’re in. You two may need more date nights, where you go out without the kids, but that’s normal.

I used the daily car trips to the babysitter to talk with my kids. To this day, my 32 yr old son is most comfortable talking in the car, whether its just chatting or it’s a real heart-to-heart.

btw… Google translate may not be a very good translator but it can tell you the words

here’s mud in your eye

The price of aircrafts has gone through the roof, though! ;-)

Back many years ago, there was a young dating couple. The boy, as was the custom at the time, would drive the car wherever they go even if the girl was the owner. Most cars, back then usually had a bench seat in the front. The girl would scoot up against her boyfriend with her head on his shoulder as they take a ride in the countryside. Well, the young couple got married and as time went on, the seating arrangement went from always touching to an increasing gap coming between them.

Now, as an older married couple, the husband sits behind the steering wheel by the driver’s side door and the wife sits on the opposite side next to the front passenger door. One day, the wife observes a young couple. The boy is driving; the girl leaning against him with her head on his shoulder. The wife inquires to her husband why they are not like the young couple anymore. The husband replies to his wife, ‘I never moved.’

I see what you mean, Elly.

Not everybody can afford airplanes.

The only reason I hesitate to talk to my wife is that everything I tell her becomes public knowledge

Ladies: Might this be the reason some men don’t talk?
