Using my husband and me for an example, when one of us is going to the grocery store, the other person often adds something like “Love!” and “More love!” to the grocery shopping list.
What’s a silly thing you and your partner do?
When we were dating, my wife and I would poke our fingers in each other’s mouths when the other person started yawning. It was funny, but we got tired of it really fast and made a pact not to do it anymore.
We’ve been together for 8 years and we still nervously side-eye each other when we yawn. If we’re feeling mischievous, we will flinch towards the one yawning to scare them.
If I get up for a job earlier than her, I’ll write a small note and hide it somewhere. It’ll just say something like how pleased to see me the neighbour’s goose was, or how big a shit the dog had in the morning
When snuggling, we realized that an affectionate nuzzle to someone’s ear can make a satisfying “fwip” sound if you bend their ear back a little and let it release.
It always makes us smile and chuckle a bit. I’ve seen wolves and african wild dogs doing similar things in videos, so I know we aren’t the only ones doing it :)
When our kid was younger I heard him say “Dad, I love you” from the car backseat.
I said “I love you too buddy”
Then my kid said “NO Dad, three buses!”
So now I get 🚌🚌🚌 from my wife every so often
We talk for our dog. We don’t have children, but our dog has full on conversations with us but it’s just my wife and I making his “voice.” It always goes along with the context and it seems to be what he would be saying. Our old dog and our current dog even have their own distinct intonation/dialect when saying things.
It’s to the point that sometimes we look at each other and go “huh, it’s weird when you think about the fact that he’s never actually really spoken before….”
Folie a deux?
