Thank you so much for your sage words and
insight.
So, back to my regular life…
Last night, while I was taking a break from studying, I
plopped myself down next to The Lawyer on the couch.
When I’m studying in his office or dining room, the couch in
the living room is his go-to spot. He
loves lying there with his laptop perched on his belly, reading blogs, science-techy
stuff, and magazines. He was an
engineer before he was a lawyer, and it shows.
In fact, at any given time, he probably has 10 magazine
subscriptions.

It is no surprise for an unsolicited commentary of, “Did
you know?” or, “So these researchers in Swaziland found..,” to begin the
moment I walk into the room. He’s kind
of endearing, my nerdy lawyer man.
Yesterday, the monologue started with,
“So, apparently the nasal and sinus passages are natural
gramophones. I read that if you stick
earbuds up your nose and then open your mouth, the music will be amplified!”
Me: Umm, OK.
Him: So, I tried it
yesterday with your earbuds, but it didn’t work…
Me: Eww, WHAT? You stuck the earbuds that I already used
again INTO YOUR NOSE?
Him: [Hysterical laughing.]
Me: DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT STICK MY EARBUDS UP YOUR NOSE?
Him: [Hysterical laughing.]
Me: I am not playing
with you, [legal name of The Lawyer]!
Why did you use my earbuds?
Him: I didn’t, but
isn’t that so funny? [More hysterical
laughing]
I'm not sure that I entirely trust him on this one. He'd better have wiped my earbuds off! And, he'd better not teach my future offspring his antics!

You two are adorable!
oh that is too funny... you should definitely clorox wipe them anyway!
I meant to comment on your post yesterday but I read it on my phone and it's a pain to comment- so, med school has a tendency to make anyone feel not so great about themselves. just remember you're smart, you deserve to be there, and you're going to be an amazing doctor. Honestly, my classmates who were the best on the wards this year were not the ones who aced every test, they're the ones who are able to be practical thinkers and work well with others and get along well with the nurses and show compassion to their patients.
It seems like most guys (the kind I would want to associate with, anyway) has this side to them - no matter what walk of life they come from - and I LOVE IT. So cute.
Maybe sanitize your ear buds before use moving forward ;)
Get a pair of those giant, noise canceling headphones and dare him to try it again.
And why would he try it with YOUR earbuds? "I'm too lazy to find my own earbuds to shove up my nose and these ones are already here..."
I just laughed out loud! I'd say a little dab of Purell wouldn't hurt. :)
Thirsty- Thank you, dear!
C- Thank you for that...I'm keeping my chin up!
ames- Lol...yeah, I secret like that he does silly things like this. It's surprising to no one that he tried this out.
Carolyn- You know that's EXACTLY what happened. "Where are my earbuds? Oh, in my office bag in the other room...oh wait, there are RED'S right there! Yay!"
YDW- I kept laughing as I was writing this too, because it's just funny. (Assuming he didn't use my earbuds, because if he did, "funny" changes to "DISGUSTING!")
OMGOSH! I missed reading your blog, you two are sooo endearing. Have fun, I am quite sure he is going to teach your future offspring such things as they were taught to us by my mom and dad .....
