Stand By Your Wife

My colleagues are going on a company trip to Phuket for some sun, sea and sand. I, on the other hand will be going to Kuala Selangor. Or Tapah. *sigh*

While I'd like very much to be going to Phuket, I'd have to give this trip a miss. With Baby's fast-approaching arrival, I just don't feel comfortable being away from Mae. My wonderful colleagues suggested I bring Mae along, but I think at this stage, no airline will fly her anywhere. But I asked her anyway.

"The guys suggested that you came along"

"You know I can't," she said, almost wistfully, "But you can go if you want."

I recognise it immediately. It's the classic trap-the-weasel-of-a-husband manoeuvre. A lesser man would have walked right into it. But not I. *ahem*

"No, honey," I said in my typical, melodramatic, over-the-top fashion, "My place is right here, by your side."

She's a sneaky one. Thank God I'm sneakier.

But erm... joking aside, my place IS right here by her side. *ahem*

  5. Oh God...all the masculine innuendos traded about is making me slightly nauseous (and no, I'm not preggie). Aiyah....no pats on back for you James. You caused her to be this way so you SHOULD be by her side. Tis not a sacrifice at all but a responsibility (I feel a Spidey quote coming on next but shall refrain!).
    Harrrrumph!!!!

  9. I've been following your blog and it never seizes to make me smile and sigh wistfully. Both of you are lucky to have each other. Gosh...I can't help but feeling a twinge of jealousy. The best happen to good people, you know. ^_^
