You Know, Sexy Things

"I'm gonna jump in the shower and then I'm going to bed."

"Can I ask you something first?"

My wife paused before she said yes. It is a natural side effect of our ten years of marriage.

"Sometimes, when the kids are all in bed and I'm in the shower, trying to scald the day from my skin, I have this secret wish that you are out here doing, you know, sexy things."

"Sexy things?"

"Sexy things. Like putting on lingerie, or lighting candles in our bedroom, or wearing that outfit I bought you last year."

"Oh. That."

"So tonight I thought while you were in the shower, maybe I'd, you know, do some, you know, sexy things for you."

"Like what?"

"I don't know. That's my question."

She thought for just a moment, then lowered her voice. "Tonight, while I'm in the shower, I want you to change out the cats' litter boxes. I stepped on a cat turd yesterday in the dark."

If only men understood that when you are married with kids, taking out the garbage, doing the dishes, cleaning the litter box - those are all great forms of foreplay!

If you haven't read it, read the Five Love Languages.

But kudos for being assertive, proactive and manly all at once.

Your wife is onto something there.

She is my kind of woman.

You know what else? A guys cleaning the litter box IS totally hot. Dishes also do it for me.
