What makes you - You?

David and I were watching Face Off a few years ago. And off and on, David and I chat about it. If you have not seen the movie, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta switch faces, one in order to infiltrate a criminal organization and the other to get back his own face. The truly unbelievable thing is that the way you look is only a very very small part of what you are. I mean, even if someone else looked like David (at least by face), there is no way he would not know the little crazy things that are just between him and me. Each couple has their own little language, and their marriage is a dance that they have choreographed over the years. There are a million little things that are unique to us. Being fromt he south, I like Jeff Foxworthy's "You know you are rednec if..." skits, so here is a list of "You know your husband has been replaced by a maniac if..."

• he puts the toilet seat down! (self explanatory :)
• he grabs the red pieces when we play Settlers (David HATES the red pieces because he says it makes him look too obvious)
• he grabs raw chicken with his barehands and starts to chop it without whincing first (Hates raw chicken)
• he listens to a Pairie Home Companion without making fun of it
• he throws away a tea bag after making a cup of tea (Gasp! What a waste!)
• he wears socks to bed
• he wears anything but old t-shirts around the house
• he doesn't stand at Jonathan's crib to stare at him at least 10 mins a day
• he puts on the Duke jacket I gave him without asking why he cannot have a UNC jacket instead
• he brushes Jonathan's teeth - ever!
• he complains about changing dirty diapers (David is a saint with those stinky ones!)

Anyhow, here are a few photos of J on our trip last week... he is still a bit under the weather, and so am I. So not a lot of new pics. I will post more tomorrow.
