Man Tag

Tagged by Kate...

1. Who is your man? Mr. Who.

2. How long have you been married? May 18, 1996. So 11 years. Yeah, yeah, do the math, The Comedian was born before we got married. We wanted to make sure we still liked each other after trying out that "having a kid" thing.

3. How long dated? This is going to sound pathetic, but since we were 16 in 1989. Oh my Lord, next month it will be 18 years!!

4. How old is your man? He is 33 - until next week. I am older than him by about 9 months.

5. Who eats more? Before he started getting all buff and athletic and caring about what he was eating, it was him. Now that he has lost a few pounds, I can probably out-eat him. How sad.

6. Who said "I love you" first? Pretty sure it was him.

7. Who is taller? Mr. Who is 5' 8" (and a half, if you ask him). I am 5' 4". I do have some kick ass stilettos that put me at eye level with him, though.

8. Who sings better? Ha!! We could both make someone's ears bleed.

9. Who is smarter? That would be me. I love getting into arguments with him because I can totally "word fuck" him and get him backed into a corner.

10. Whose temper is worse? His. By a long shot. He freaks out over ANYTHING, all the time.l I could count 10 things tonight alone that he freaked out about. I, on the other hand, laugh at his temper, because I am always on an even keel. The happy pills help that, though.

11. Who does the laundry? Usually me, because if I let him do it, he will dry all my shit, and I hate that.

12. Who takes out the garbage? Mr. Who, The Comedian, and The Boy. It's a collaborative effort, apparantly.

13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does. No rhyme or reason for why.

14. Who pays the bills? He pays for the things that are going to keep me safe, i.e. the house, utilities, etc. I pay for the fun things, like groceries - yeah, that's a lot of fun - NOT.

15. Who is better with the computer? Probably me, but only because he has no patience.

16. Who mows the lawn? He does. He is completely OCD about the lawn and landscaping. We have a perfectly capable 13 year old who WANTS to do it and Mr. Who refuses to give up control. What if the lines don't look like a perfect plaid pattern? The world may collapse in on itself.

17. Who cooks dinner? Most of the time me, because if I ask him to, he will just ask me a million questions and it's easier to do it myself. I think he does this on purpose.

18. Who drives when you are together? Always him. Unless he's really drunk. Then me.

19. Who pays when you go out? Usually him, as I never have any $ in my account - we keep separate accounts - yes, I know it's weird, but it works for us.

20. Who is most stubborn? Probably a tie. Although I usually cave before he does, so I guess that would make him more stubborn.

21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? I am never wrong.

22. Whose parents do you see the most? Definitely his. My family is a tad disfunctional, to put it mildly.

23. Who kissed who first? I made the first move.

24. Who asked who out? We were in high school, and it just kind of happened - don't think there was any "official" asking.

25. Who proposed? Mr. Who did - it was very sweet.

26. Who is more sensitive? Without a doubt, me. I wonder if he has a sensitive bone in his body.

27. Who has more friends? We share friends, so I would guess that's a tie. We have a bunch of couples we hang out with on a fairly regular basis.

28. Who has more siblings? He has three "full" siblings. I have 3 half siblings, 2 ex-stepbrothers, and two stepsisters and another stepbrother that I have seen only a handful of times because my mom was married to their father for just a few months before he was killed in a car accident. You're opening a can of worms asking about my family history, I'm telling you...

29. Who wears the pants in the family? We'll just let him believe it's him. But we all know better.

And now I TAG: Gretchen
