The long and short of it
Apr. 25th, 2003 12:48 pmI was reading someone's journal the other day and she was lamenting the fact that only short guys were asking her out. Apparently going out with someone less that 6' would scar her for life or something. I was tempted to to respond, but figured anything I said would probably go right under her head (haha--don't forget to laugh!).
No one considers me tall, except my two year-old nieces. And eventually they all grow up and get taller than me. I'm about 5'5". They called me "Hobbit" in high school, and it wasn't because I had hairy feet.
Anyway, I have been married for almost ten years, and most of the stuff that makes me a good husband has nothing to do with how tall I am, unless it is something like changing the smoke alarm batteries. Therefore, I have prepared a list of husbandly qualities that don't require height. For those of you who think a tall husband is superior, I challenge you to match this with your own list.
1. She washes, I fold.
2. I cook, she washes. She cooks, I wash.
3. I cook.
4. I consult her before buying anything over $100, even if it's my own money.
5. I apologize, even if it's not my fault.
6. I make tea for her before we go to bed.
7. I read books to her while she does craft stuff.
8. I bake fresh bread on the weekends.
9. I fret when she's late getting home.
10. When she was in the hospital, I started an IV line when no one else could, because she was in pain and needed medicine, even though it scared me to death.
