So, on my awesome day off, I'm watching Malcom in the Middle (because it rocks)... and I just saw the episode where Lois and Hal think that she's pregnant again. At the very end of the episode, she's in labor with one of the existing boys (Dewey), and they are fighting. . . and she says something to the effect of "we can't do this, have another baby until we fix us." So Hal names off a list of adorable stuff, like "I love the way your neck smells in the morning, the way that each of your toes looks like it came from another person. I love the way you're brave and fearless, and the way you treat me like a baby when I'm sick" ... and oddly enough, it made me all sniffly. I don't think it was the intention of the show, except maybe for the parents who may plausibly be watching, but I just kind of sighed and shook my head, and hoped that at some point in my life, I would be able to have someone who loved those types of things about me. Not that I'm fearless and brave, but the little things... like the way my hair curls weird at the back of my neck, or freakishly long toes, or the fact that ghost shows freak me the fuck out.
So here's hoping for the best in life.
