Geekman: "That's a nice hat. My hat makes me look like a freak."
Me: "You can wear my pink baseball cap if you'd rather."
Geekman: "Baseball caps just look freaky in general."
Me: "Are you saying I should stop wearing it too?"
Geekman: "No. It looks good on you. It's like supermodels. They can wear a paper bag and it looks great."

Ten minutes later, when I have just about finished swooning over such a lovely compliment, we are walking outside in the worst heat we've had so far this summer, and I am holding my arms out from my sides a little to try and drip dry.
Geekman: "You look like a lumbering gorilla."
I give him The Look of Doom.
Geekman: "What?! I complimented you earlier!"

Best ever from hubby, while sitting in a hot springs pool in the freezing cold rain in the mountains:
"y'know, I saw you sitting on the edge of the pool over there, gazing off into the mountains, shrouded in steam, and I thought to myself,"
(I'm waiting in anticipation of a beautiful compliment...)
"she looks like on of those red faced Japanese monkeys".
What a hubby...
...and now the reality that you are going to celebrate Christmas in the middle of summer is sinking in... huh, I have gotta visit your side of the hemisphere someday.
I guess a good compliment deserves a bad compliment to balance it out, huh? :)
Last night my boyfriend, J, said "I love you" for the first time. And then he immediately followed it with "but I don't want to be in love." Eh, I'll take what I can get :)
Geekman sounds a lot like J. I love your posts about him.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
