I got to meet a lot of John's co-workers at a picnic yesterday afternoon. Being somewhat from this area, it was strange for me to be the one who had to be introduced, instead of the introducer. I felt a little self-conscious every time he said, "this is my wife." I wondered what his associates might think of his choice, since we are so different.
John is tall. I am more... aerodynamic.
John is technically proficient. I can't completely understand the TV remote.*
John runs marathons. I hate to sweat.
John throws laundry together to wash. I have a sophisticated sorting system.
John loves to be physically challenged. I prefer to be horizontal.
John likes to tackle problems, head on. I think things through, sometimes too thoroughly.
I crave praise. John praises me often.
I tend to overdo everything. John simplifies.
I love to cook. John loves to eat.
I love him. John loves me.
Well, we may be different, but we're certainly complimentary. And I think I'll take that over same any day.
* In my own defense, it's a very fancy TV remote.
