Husband 2.0

Husband 2.0 is a vast improvement over the earlier version.

Husband 1.0 was mechanically inclined, but he never finished what he started, and he always left a huge mess behind.

Husband 1.0 was really, really insistent that the front door needed to be moved ten feet to the right. He just wasn't going to be satisfied until he knocked a giant hole in my house. And then, he would've left it there, because he got bored and there's a wet t-shirt contest at the bar tonight and the bartender will give him beer for free.

Husband 2.0, on the other hand, works a problem through until it's resolved. Sometimes it takes a while, but he persists until the problem is resolved, or until it's clear a professional is needed.

And when Husband 2.0 is done fixing things, he doesn't write bad checks, get drunk, steal from his employers, occupy his down time with graphic porn, or teach the little boy to use profanity.

Husband 2.0 doesn't just fare well in comparison to 1.0, though. He has features that I never would have dreamed of finding in a husband. He's a great listener. He's handsome. And he's very, very intelligent.

All this, and all his teeth, too. Definitely a keeper.

Are all his teeth paid for, or are they the originals?

The ol saying, love is blind. Looks like you learned from husband 1.0 and didn't get a husband 1.1 and instead went all the way to husband 2.0, good for you.

It is nice to have a spouse who is also your best friend.

Well, there was a Maybe Boyfriend 1.1 who was mentally ill, and a Pretend Boyfriend 1.2 who wasn't really a boyfriend, he was just a guy I did stuff with who choked on his sandwich when I told him I was probably going to be getting married.

But neither of them were ever Husband candidates. And why mess around with an interim upgrade when a full-blown version update is so obviously called for?

Yes, it IS nice to be married to your best friend.

And yes, they are his own teeth, although I wouldn't mind if they weren't as long as he always wore them.
