The Husband is a morning person. He gets up with the sun, answers his email, runs 10K, plans covert operations for the CIA, and makes waffles before I even stagger into the kitchen. Then, while I’m fumbling with the coffeemaker, he buzzes around me, describing with great energy his plans for our day, or week, or life. Let’s paint the house! Throw a block party! Get a puppy!
He will never understand this commercial. But the rest of us do.

I am not a morning person. And today, my wife is energetically bouncing around the house, full of all our plans as we prepare our house to… yes, get a puppy tomorrow. (This six months after we got our first dog ever.) I need the Folgers Nuclear Blend.

Happy Morning! I cannot believe that one of the sunshine people didn’t get a pillow in the face or a leg torn off by the dog. I have a feeling that this song will be sung and resung in our household until it is forcibly quashed in my throat. Happy Morning!

Suddenly I am pro gun.

I think your husband is the ideal husband. I thought that anyway when I met him, and I still think it

Rich: I was thinking the same thing. Except, I don’t think those sunshine people could be killed with conventional weapons.
No - I was thinking more along the lines of a small, well-placed, tactical nuclear device…with a smiley-face on it.

I’m very much a morning person and even I had to supress some serious homicidal tendencies.
