Last night my husband got up and walked out of the office of our house and went into our bedroom. I thought he was going to bed.
45 minutes later I heard the shower turn on so I knew that he had been in the bathroom and I was VERY SAD because I wanted to go to bed but the bathroom is attached to our bedroom and I figured that there was no way that room would be safe for HUMANS for at least another 45 minutes.
When he came out I told him that and he said, "Nah, I was reading."
So I asked him, "Don't your legs fall asleep?"
And he said, "No, I stand up and stretch."
And picturing him with his pants around his ankles doing a seventh inning stretch with a book in one hand and a wad of TP in the other just made me shake my head.
Of course for peacefulness I guess he can't beat it because there is NO WAY I would follow him in there.
Our bathroom is attached to our bedroom too. Which can be entirely too much closeness for even the happiest of married couples! LOL

First, I laughed out loud because I picture my husband while reading this, not yours. Second, I handed my computer to my hub to read this. I said, "It's not long, I promise." He said, "Words no man ever wants to hear."

Hi Kit,
You had me laughing at the "stretch" part. My wife can totally relate to this story. I read in the bathroom, too, and she's always worrying about me damaging my legs by sitting so long. TMI, I know.
Thanks for the laugh!

I'm glad my husband isn't the only one. When I'm lucky, he will sing a little song too.
Oh romance.

HAHA, that is awesome! Why do guys take longer on the toilet than ladies? Maybe they are really camping out in there for some quiet time... I mean, I like to read when I'm in there, too, but not for an hour!

I admit to a little bathroom reading. I do. When Hubs is home I beeline it for the bathroom. It's the only damn time I get alone time with 3 kids in this house. And still, I find myself yelling things like, "do not cross the marble tile! do! not! cross!" My neighbors love me.

That was actually great inspiration to read a book. Sans pants, apparently.
