I flirt with my wife. I flirt with my wife a lot, actually. And lately I flirt with my wife a whole lot – enough that last night, as she was stirring some vegetables on the stove with my arms around her, she asked what my deal was. Not in an annoyed sort of way but just asking, just making sure I hadn’t started taking Viagra or been listening to Barry White without telling her or something. “No.” And then I told her for the umpteenth time everything I love about her. “And you’re gorgeous. That helps.”
“Or,” I said,” it might be because, um, I’ve kinda been thinking I’d like more kids and-”
“Go get a girlfriend,” she said with a straight face.
“Can I blog this?” I asked. “First you condone polygamy and now concubines?”
“Well,” she said scooping broccoli onto a child’s plate, “as long as I’m the main wife.”
And I’m not the brightest guy, I don’t pick up on subtlety real well, but I’m pretty sure that’s a “no” on the kid thing and a “yes” to fornication and that leaves me torn…I mean that would leave me torn if I was as morally ambiguous as my wife obviously is. Pray for her poor soul. Her poor gorgeous soul.

You ARE going to write a song about this, aren’t you? We are commanded, biblically, to reproduce (aka: have sex.) The scripture also says that if we love God we will obey God. Therefore, obeying God is an act of worship. Seems to me you have no choice but to write a sexy worship tune. It’s what you do. I usually buy my music on i-tunes but I promise to buy the CD if the cover art is … applicable.

This is without a doubt the funniest blog I read
Shaun… Becky…. legendary

I think what Becky was thinking at that moment was “hey buddy, save it fo’ layta, help me feed the offspring then help with the dishes…” But seriously, it’s neat that you’d like more kids. But of course as she is the bearer of the womb, you’ll need to wait for her go ahead. Or one of God’s planned oops’s.
Dawn says:
lol thank you for that laugh..what a great wife!
lol!

After the birth of our second child:
Husband: “What are we gonna name our next one?”
Me: “Whatever its mother wants to name it!”
I’m with Becky, as another who’s had stitches you know where!
Angela says:
Your wife and I would get along well.
Grovesfan says:
Could it possibly be that one or three of the kids were sick while you were out of town last weekend? That’s a “we should have more kids” killer if there every was one!
Way to go Becky! I’m at the stage now where whether there were more kids in the future or not, I’m ready for him to get a concubine.
Angela says:
Your post came to mind a few hours after I left my comment, “Your wife and I would get along well.” Then it occurred to me that that line would also be something said in an application to be a concubine. Because it would be very important that your wife and concubine get a long well. Rest assured, I’m not applying. Just wanted to clear that up, in case there was any confusion. =^)

hi Shaun,
Wow, one never knows what you are going to write about next…
You are a lucky man, and a lucky husband. Your wife sounds perfect… she even serves broccoli, which happens to be my favorite vegetable (and very good for you as well, just like a good wife).

You know what I love about Becky?
She speaks truth to power.
Shannon says:
Oh, I’ve TOTALLY told Hubs he can have another wife, as long as she does laundry, cooks, and drives carpool, but the, um, “privileges” end there!
