Vows

During our 20 hours of wedding meetings with Jerry Falwell we talked about our wedding vows. One of the vows I had him change had to do with the word "submit." I could NOT get used to this word...
I couldn't even get it out of my MOUTH..so we changed it to "give".
"Give" I could live with..
I could GIVE myself to Will.
I could NOT submit to Will.
Submit is something you do when you want to put an ad in the paper for a used lawn mower..ugh...
ANYWAY..when it came to wedding vows..I took them very seriously..because I believe..THIS TIME.. that forever is forever..so this morning as I tenderly nudged him awake to say goodbye before a looooong arduous day with hormonal whining 7th graders...my wedding vows came back to me loud and clear:
"I sub-..no..no..I GIVE myself to you Will even though you just called me a GOD DAMNED PENGUIN..which is completely unjustified.. just because you think my hands are cold.. and you should just quit being such a baby...and shut up... Now kiss me because I love you more than anything."
See how important wedding vows are? See?
