Why I love my husband ...

Rob is a loyal fan ... tried and true.

Around 3:30am I got up to make our unborn baby-boy Cletus a midnight snack ... my belly was growling and somehow I sensed that my glucose levels were low. Suffice it to say the house was pretty cold (Californians don't turn their heaters on in the middle of May) so my footsies got super cold as I tooled around the kitchen making my snack. When I finally got back to bed my feet felt like ice and I had no choice but to use Rob's body warmth as my toe-jam heater. Knowing that Rob has a "thing" about feet ... I decided to own up to my sneak attack when he awoke this morning. Our conversation when something like this:

Chrissi (in a cheerful tone): "Oh hey honey, when you take a shower ... you might want to scrub your left leg a litttttle extra good this morning ... giggling under her breath"

Rob (questioning my logic): "Whyyyyy do I have to scrub extra hard this morning??"

Chrissi (still cheerful): "Ohhh well ... do you happen to remember me getting up to have a snack last night? Well ... it took a while for me to make the snack and my feet got super cold from the kitchen linoleum and when I got back to bed ... welllllll I kinda had to use your leg as a space heater to warm up my feet. Thanks for the help !!!!"

Rob (still groggy, some what pissy): "So you made me your ton-ton"

Chrissi: "ton-ton?? what's a ton-ton?"

Rob: "a ton-ton ... you know from the Empire Strikes Back ... its the wooly thing that Han Solo and Luke used to keep Luke warm when they got caught out in the snow drift"

Chrissi: "Ohh ok ... so a ton-ton is that big woolly mammoth-elephant like thing"

Rob: "Nooooo. A ton-ton is a cross between a camel and kangaroo. Han cut it open and shoved Luke inside to keep him warm."

Chrissi (slightly grossed out): "So they killed the ton-ton????? So Luke came out of the ton-ton all bloody???? He got shoved INSIDE to get warm (and bloody) ... while Han stayed OUTSIDE and got all cold?????"

Rob (huffy and letting out a BIG ole sigh): "Noooooo ... ghod !!! They don't show him coming out all bloody. The ton-ton was already dead. Han-Solo HAD to cut open the ton-ton open and shove Luke inside to keep him warm. He had just got done meeting the ice monster!!!

Yeah ... it was at this point, when Rob was looking at me all accusatory and carrying a tone of "god woman don't you know anything about ton-tons?" that I bust out laughing and totally lost it. Welcome to my world. (And to think ... most of you out there are of the opinion that it's Rob that has to put up with soooo much in this relationship ...)
