You know how after you get married your spouse points out all kinds of things about you? Well one of my things is that I gasp, quite often. I don't even notice it. I tend to do it the most while I am reading, as I get quite involved in a story.
I remember one incident early in our marriage I was reading "Shopaholic Ties the Knot" by Sophie Kinsella. At the beginning when Suze throws the bouquet at Becky and when she catches it she realizes that is it a proposal from Luke!!! GASP! Ed ran in our room to check if I was okay, as he was often doing during those first few years.
That was a couple of years ago now. It has become apparent that Ed has grown accustom to my gasping. Last night as I was reading "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, there was a lot gasping going on. Ed would just glance over and casually ask what happened in the story.
Marriage is great.
As an aside I love to read and I can't wait for Cali to be able to learn to read books on her own. I found this great little show when I was Utah a year ago. It's called "Super Why" each super hero has a "power" that is required to tell a story. It's great! I just wanted to share it and I am so glad that Cali loves it as well.
I love that book! (The Giver)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I'll laugh out loud while reading and Gary will look at me like I'm crazy.
So glad to hear that I am not the only one.
