Hopelessly a Mom

Okay, so I’m dropping my husband off at a church function. He gets out of the car, goes around to my side, and I roll the window down for a goodbye kiss. In front of several other men, I give my sweetie a kiss and clearly tell him,

“You be good, now, okay?”

The smirks on the other guys’ faces made me realize what I said, and I tried to back pedal. But boy, some of those mom-phrases just get so ingrained! Luckily, my husband has a terrific sense of humor as well as a keen sense of when to tease me and when to get the focus off me. He smiled, gave me another kiss, and promised to be good. Then he hurried off to let me escape without further humiliation.

What a GOOD guy!
