May 23, 2009This Week: Why I love my husband’s very dumb jokes

Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

My husband is telling some very dumb jokes, and it makes my heart happy. I used to dismiss his jokes because they are dumb. (He would be the first to agree with that characterization.) Now I delight in the happy heart behind his playfulness. He likes it that I enjoy his jokes.

We like people who laugh at our jokes – which is one reason why I so enjoyed my keynote with Federally Employed Women (DFEB) last week. I knew I was funny, but I didn’t realize I was THAT funny! The last time I had such a responsive audience it was at a Women in Military conference. Hmm…is there a theme here?

I found a surprising way into my husband’s heart, and DFEB found thier way into mine. So many thanks!
