Duck

Thursday night my husband walked into my office - a man on a mission.  "Hey baby." he said.

I laughed.

"Come on," he said, "You're always complaining about how I got to bed too early."

"Okay, okay." I said but made him wait while I washed my face and brushed my teeth.

As I was about to crawl into bed he said, "Turn off the alarm clock."

But I had to work in the morning so I turned off the family alarm clock and grabbed my iphone.

I set the alarm and then began to select my alarm tone.  I slowly scrolled through each tone while he groaned.

Finally I got to the duck quack.  He laughed.

I crawled into bed.

In the morning my husband woke before the alarm.  He reminded me that it was Veteran's Day - and time for me to thank him for all the months he spent sleeping in the desert.

I rolled over and hugged him.  Things led where they so often do...

But this time, as we finished together there was the unmistakable quacking of a duck in the background.

We both burst into laughter.

But then I stopped laughing because I had to get up while he rolled over and went back to sleep.

All weekend our code word for sex has been "Quack quack."  The kids think we're crazy.  I'm not sure it's a euphemism I want to keep.

When my parents marriage was starting to really unravel (not that it had ever been a particularly sound structure) Mom kind of threw herself into sewing projects. One of these was a goose-shaped pillow of the variety that you sew from a pattern. Dad, disgusted with the whole thing, hanged the goose by its neck from the bedroom ceiling and named it Dr. Ruth.

Honk honk.

Any euphemism for a roll in the hay is a good one. Also, any way you can keep the kiddos thinking your crazy. So QUACK sounds like it is win-win.
