Interview with a Husband | Love

Last night I was sitting at the computer trying to think about what to write for IBOT this week. I had nothing. So I asked Dave what he thought I should write about. The ABC 4 Kids changes he said with a smirk. That was his answer to the same question last week, which I did of course do. 

I said that maybe he should write a post for me, the blogging ladies love a guest post from the men. He looked at me like I was from Mars. "Well how about I interview you, would you do that?" Do I have to be serious, he asked? When I said no he was all on board. So here it is.

Interview with a Husband

I typed Dave's answers as he said them. The italics are direct speech from his mouth. Everything else is what I observed or said to him. It's disconcerting how quick he answered some of these and not others!

What is the best part about being married to Kylie?
Dave: What? Put me on the spot. Do I have to answer honestly? Ummmmm, she breast feeds our kids so I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night.

What is the worst part about being married to Kylie?
Dave: Taste. *shoves a spoonful of pumpkin cous cous in my mouth* It's one of my special ingredients. Worst part? Ummmm. The time I wake her up is not the time she actually wakes up. Having to deal with her absolutely and utterly not being a morning person. Say something like that. 

What is Kylie's most annoying habit?
Sookiness. *Smirks*.
When asked to elaborate... That sums it up. Sookiness. Especially in the morning.

What is Kylie's most endearing habit?
*Sighs*.Takes a looooooong time to think about the answer while staring in the pantry, trying to figure out what to feed Zee...
Dave: I don't know. Insult ones are easier, coz they are the ones I notice.
Surely there is something, I ask him.
Dave: Um....
Ok, now this is starting to get a little weird. Is there anything at all I ask?
Dave: Yeah I'm thinking! And I'm also trying to think about what to give Zee for dinner. *proof that men can't multitask tight there people!* 
Dave: What about, she's not as sooky in the evenings.
He laughs. That's not a habit I tell him.
Dave: People will think we have a heaps sweet marriage *statement drips in sarcasm*.

What do you admire most about Kylie?
Dave: Your ability to hold a conversation with strangers and acquaintances.

What was the first thing that attracted you to Kylie?
Dave: Maybe your cheeks.When you smile, they're pinchable. *pauses* 

Best. Dad. Ever.

Your driver's licence. *smirks yet again*

What do you enjoy most about being a Dad?
Dave: Lack of boredom.

What do you least enjoy about being a Dad?
Dave: Lack of sleep.

What was your favourite thing to do with Kylie pre-kids?
Dave: Have bonfires down the back of Mum & Dad's. Fishing.

What do you miss doing with Kylie now you have kids and limited time?
Dave: Sleeping. Having money.

What is your most hated household chore?
Dave: It's a tie between folding clothes and mowing.

What is your least hated household chore?
Dave: Probably a tie between cooking and doing the dishwasher.

What's your favourite thing to cook?
Dave: Something delicious and healthy and heaps quick from that brand new animal they've just discovered. *evidence of twisted mind right there*
Dave: That peanut chicken noodle thing we had the other day.

What do you think annoys Kylie most about you?
Dave: When I say "What about me?", or when I whistle, or when I give you undie snaps, though I know you secretly love undie snaps.

Newlyweds on our honeymoon, 2008

What do you think Kylie loves most about you?
Dave: My undie snaps.
Kylie: No. I really don't!

Why do you think Kylie is lucky to be married to you?
Dave: Coz I cook. I don't wanna say the normal smug, coz I'm handsome or anything, but that is one of the reasons. And coz I let you sleep-in in the morning.

What do you think is the secret to a happy marriage?
Dave: Patience. And biting your tongue every now and then. You could say choosing my battles. And affection and all that business. And the other business. If you know what I mean. You could write bow chicka wow wow.
