The Shock Factor

Why does my husband try so hard to get a rise out of people? And why is it almost always at my expense?

Just to give you a little example, a few months ago, we were walking through the mall. He was walking so fast and I almost had to jog catch up. Finally, I slow down to walk at my own pace and let him walk a few steps in front of me.... What a mistake!! He takes it upon himself to turn around and yell "Quit following me!!" at the top of his lungs!!! Everyone just starred at me... And I was mortified.

I am constantly wondering what he is going to say or do next...

We were visiting with friends the other day. Everyone is having a good time. We are laughing, joking, telling stories... Someone offers me a glass of wine which I graciously accept. Next thing I know, I feel someone's eyes on me. I look over at my husband who is eye ballin' me! What the heck? Obviously, everyone else notices too!

"Ya?" I ask.

Without hesitation, he says to me: "Are you sure you should be drinking?"

Oh my god! Everyone is staring at us with a question lingering in all of their brains! I am so shocked I can't even speak! After a minute or so, I jump to my own rescue telling everyone that I am not pregnant.

Well the next day, I wake up to 3 or 4 text messages saying "Congratulations!". My husband, of course, thinks that's the funniest thing in the world. Sigh...

What's next?
