First of all, our first anniversary is coming up in a couple week, January 12th. So I really don’t consider myself a newlywed anymore. But there are two questions that people have asked us throughout the year that really bug me.
1. “How’s married life?”
What I always want to say, “Wait. Is it suppose to be different than before? I must have missed that memo.” What are you suppose to say to this question? Married life is just life with someone else in it, a joint checking account, and a different tax bracket. Not all that different that just dating. Really, really hate this question. When someone asks it, I feel like a cat who just got petted the wrong way.
2. “When are the babies coming along?”
My husband’s favorite answer, “9 months after conception.” Really people, we’re been married about a year. We are barely paying our bills on time. Do you really think we need another month to feed? The standard answer is “oh, we’re just enjoying being married for a while.” Which usually leads to question number 1 so maybe we need to rethink that answer.
