Most studies among married couples show that people fight about finances the most.
This is what we fight about. A conversation before sleep:
Me: I got a comment on my blog the other day from Lizzy that my travel trials might beat her worst experience
Hubs: It still won't beat mine
Me: WHAT?
Hubs: Yeah, the time I went to India via Singapore
Me: Oh, you mean the engine caught on fire
Hubs: No, that never happened, but we nearly hit a mountain when we were trying to land during a typhoon. We only missed by 10,000 ft.
Me: Mine is so much worse. Don't try and steal my thunder. Plus we had a lot of turbulence in one sector.
I do happen to think mine is much worse. At least there is something romantic in trying to land in a typhoon and almost hitting a mountain etc. I mean it is a tale to tell to your grandchildren. Trust me, there was nothing romantic about mine. It was just plain frustrating and ...illogical. Here is a conversation I had with a United agent sitting in a call center in India.
Me: Another concern that I have is that the when my first bag was delivered, they never gave me a call, but rang the bell at 3:00 am. Thankfully, my husband heard the bell, so we got the bag. How many people do you know are wide awake at 3:00 in the morning?
Agent: Ma'm, there could be a reason that the person didn't call. Maybe he didn't want to disturb you at that time of the day.
Me: (I take in a moment to absorb this.) What you said just now...does this make sense even to you? He comes to my door and rings the bell at 3 am to deliver something and he doesn't call me before because he doesn't want to disturb me?
Agent: Hmm, well, yeah...
Me: !!!

You made me laugh this morning! You guys are too much! But you have a point. Not romantic, indeed. Nowhere near.
Funny!
I won't even tell you the argument Steven and I had about whether or not stormtrooper armor would protect you from zombies...
