Tell Me One More Time

So I like a bit of praise from time to time.

A little affirmation. A sincere word of appreciation.

It fills up my love tank.

This morning, I came upon a new tank-filling strategy. Picture my husband and I, in the kitchen, cooking/cleaning (whatever we were doing). He comes up to me and says,

"You are amazing, honey." {with a teeny tiny bit of obviously, why do I even need to say it in his voice}

I replied, "What?" {with a twinkle in my eye}

"You are really amazing, honey!" {more emphatically, with a kiss thrown in for good luck}

I said, "One more time?" {a smirk}

This time I get the really serious look. Some more words of affirmation {they escape me now} and a dipped cone kiss. WOW.

That was better.

I'll have to remember that.
