Attributes

You know, when it comes to getting all serious and mushy, my writing skills go straight out the window.
I just can't convey deep emotion!
The few times I've tried to write that way, I always look back on those posts and just want to laugh at how not like myself I sound. They always seem so forced... It's just not me!
But the other night my man asked me one of those questions where I thought he was joking, since apparently the two of us blow at being serious about these sorts of things, but he wasn't. He was being totally serious, even with a humongous smile on his face.
He asked,
"Hey babe, what are the three attributes of mine you like the most, and which three do you dislike the most?"

After a few giggles {I thought he was setting me up for something}, I said,

"My favorite attributes of yours are that you're
independent,
you're
supportive,
and that you're... Hmm...
Well, you're 
ambitious.
And I guess I have to say my least favorite attributes of yours is that I have to ask you EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. to do certain things {put your shoes away and take out the trash}, sometimes I have to claw out unpleasant thoughts that I know are on your mind, and umm... I don't know. I can't think of a third. Oh yeah, that you never tell me "no." Tell me NO every once in awhile, would ya?!"

And then I asked him to do the same for me.
He said he would start with the bad and build his way up. 

"Sometimes you're absent-minded {I literally will forget things two seconds after he tells me}, you can't find things to save your life {for some reason every object I seek to find runs away from me... even though they're usually right in front of my face...}, and your definition of "clean" differs BIG TIME from my definition {he likes things ultra sanitized and whatnot, I just want things put away}."

And you know what? I can't even remember what my good attributes were {except for him saying he thought I was the best mommy in the world... Tear!}, but I know that having a dude who asks me such questions is quite a wonder. I love that man.

The end!
