I Find Numbers Soothing To Look At

For future humor when I need a laugh.

Buds and I were snuggled in bed, talking about our day. I said I might want to switch back to the side of the bed by the door rather than closer to the window. Then I remembered one of the reasons we swapped sides was so I could have the fan in the window blowing on me. I mentioned that, and Buds said, "I used to have a fan blowing on me, too."

"You only had that fan because it told the temperature in the room," I rebutted.

"I find numbers soothing to look at," he said, completely seriously.

For some reason, that had me crying with laughter. It's making me laugh even now. Then he laughed at my laughing, and we giggled for a very long time.

Beauty fades, but laughter is forever.
