YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME!

So yesterday my sweetheart and I were in the mall, shopping at the container store, having a great time planning a remodel for the kid's room.  I girl bends down in front of him to pick up some containers, and I look over to see him checking out this girl.  He looks over at me and knows he's busted.  So busted.  He turns beet red as I raise my eyebrows and shake my head at him.  Then I do something that probably surprised him, but surprised me even more.  I start laughing.  Yes I get it's horrendous behavior, and a much younger me would have probably walked right over and slapped him silly.  Even now I think he would have deserved it, but 22 years of marriage has made me realize that I really like this guy, even when he's not very likeable.  So instead of a long lecture, I say, "what were you thinking?  oh nevermind, I know what you were thinking."  And I let it go.  Sort of.
