Little Things

*  The Hubba and I came back from a late date night around midnight and were catching a late snack in the kitchen with the teens.  Little trivia was printed on the caps of the drinks we had.  Like, "Nantucket didn't have a fire department until 1838."  We each read ours out loud to the others.   Then X read his.  "Safety button pops up when original seal is broken."

*  A couple nights ago Baboo was singing the national anthem at a high school activity.  Some kind of drill team competition.  When I picked her up afterwards she was telling me how much she loved dad and what a good dad he was.  I asked what brought that on.  She told me that she was watching part of the drill competition and noticed a dad holding a little baby in his arms off on the sidelines.  He was kind of swinging and bouncing the baby.  Then apparently his daughter was performing in the next group and he stood still and was just focusing on her.  While she was dancing, he shouted out "JOHNSON!"  And it reminded her of the Hubba.  Then as she was exiting the building there was another dad just hurrying in with a bouquet of flowers in his arms.  That also reminded her of her own dad.  She said, "Dads are great.  I love my dad."

*  Walking out of a movie with the Hubba and he suddenly grabs me around my shoulders and holds me close and kisses my head.  (And I remembered to tell him that I liked that and that it made me feel loved only a minute or two after it happened.)
