Sometimes I wish my brain would engage a little bit quicker before my mouth.  In all innocence over the years I have come out with some crackers and never meant to be hurtful, it just . . . well . . . . came out!

Today I was talking with hubby about how despite our ups and downs over the last few years how we have been successfully married for nearly 15 years.  Okay, there’s one.  I should have said ‘happily married’, so you can see what I mean.

I had noted that we seemed to be in a declining number of couples who are still together when we know plenty of people who have separated, divorced, remarried etc.  Things happen for a reason I know, so we do count our blessings.

I then said "I wouldn’t have an affair" and proceeded to add "a) because I’m too tired and couldn’t be bothered".

My husband stood there, looked at me and started laughing.

"I don’t think that reason should be the first one" he said. 

I joined in with the laughing realising that I should have said "because I love you very much as point a)".  Thankfully he realised that was implied (well after a bit of grovelling he did).

Still, keep them on their toes I say.
